Near Superior, Colorado, US on Oct 26, 2008

Total distance: 58 miles

Total time: 3 hours 56 minutes

Total ascent: 4429 ft, Total descent: 4461 ft

Rider notes: For some reason, I hadn't done Lee Hill Drive this year. To me, it is one of the most difficult climbs around Boulder. 
It was quite cold (45F) when I started and it never quite warmed up. So the descend from Jamestown was very interesting, to say the least. 

The funny thing is, after the climb to Lee Hill, the one up Jamestown from the Ward turn-off on Left Hand Canyon felt very easy.

Total time: 2 hours 42 minutes

Total ascent: 2561 ft, Total descent: 2569 ft

Rider notes: It was incredibly windy on Left hand Canyon and especially after the Ward turn-off. At some places, it was gusting at least 20-25mph. 

As if this ride was not enough for the day, I played cricket in the afternoon for the first time in two years, second time in four and probably about the 5th time in in eight years. Pulled a muscle on the right calf, and I will probably be out of action for the next couple of days at least:(
