Must Do Bike Rides in the Vail, Colorado area!

Last week I was in the Vail, Colorado area and did some road bike rides. There are a couple of rides I did that are worth mentioning and are Must Do Rides if you are ever in the area.

One ride is the ride from Minturn, Co to Leadville, Co and back. It is an awesome ride! Check out the link below.

Another great ride is a ride called the Copper Triangle which is a loop the goes through Vail, Minturn and Leadville. It is a tough ride with tons of climbing and 3 major passes.  Check out the link below.

You will not be disappointed by going on either ride. Bring some money, put on the sunscreen, bring a few layers in case a storm rolls in and Ride-Strong!

This is a great message in Cycling and in Life! Many times in people get off to a fast start in something new and then go sideways or back-wards. People forget what got them off to a fast start which is excitement and enthusiasm. Keep up your beginner’s spirit in Cycling and in Life!
