Hello everyone,
I have set an audacious goal for myself! In late July I will ride in a fundraiser for Children's Hospital Colorado. I'm choosing the hardest route called the Copper Triangle. It's 79 miles and 6500 feet of elevation in one day.
I remember riding it last year. I got a late start because I couldn't find my riding gloves, and I was one of the last riders to finish the course. But you know what? That didn't bother me a bit (well maybe a little bit). There were points during the day when I felt so tired and cranky wondering why in the heck I had chosen to do this. And then I reminded myself, "this is nothing compared to what most of these kids face." They don't have the chance to opt out or say "this is too hard."
There's no specific child for whom I"m riding. I'm riding for all of the kids who seek treatment at Children's Colorado, the region's only nonprofit children's hospital.
