This week i have been riding little Bea up the Santa Fe ski basin road. Just little jaunts at lunch. Today i decided to go the distance, which should have been about 15 miles. Elevation gain in those 15 miles about 4300 feet. Little Bea got stuck going about 35 mph at mile marker 9 which is approximately 8800 feet in elevation. She would not move past that so with cars behind us i decided to turn around. Little Bea and I loved going downhill. It was a great lunchtime ride!
And a little brisk even at noon. Is it true? Is fall around the corner? Bea goes for her service next month. So maybe she will better handle the altitude then.
