| Comments: Solo Waterton Canyon followed by jeep trail to Chatfield. Right knee a bit tweaky by end, but a nice after fighting headwind up the canyon, but I cleared the steep section, not the single track at very top. EXTREMELY crowded when I finished. Liked the additional 6 miles to Chatfield. 700', felt like more |

| Comments: Chatfield ride on a clear, cool but quickly warming morning. Insanely crowded at the park, backed up to C470 when I left. Felt half decent, no mechanical issues on CA2. Randomly had inside lip swell although nothing bit me, stopped a little early. 1,000 vertical |

| Comments: Well, that ride SUCKED!! Right knee hurt from the 1st mile. Then shifting went to shit while riding on shitty pavement, into a headwind, going upriver. Had to take it easy to somewhat save the knee. Then crashed around mile 40 on one of the many needless roundabouts on the trail. Landed on left side; deep hip bruise, skinned left knee and elbow, but saved the bike for the most part. SORE AS HELL afterwards, sore back, hip/ass. 900' vertical |

| Comments: Woke up at 0200, rode from Chatfield at 0606 where I was immediately cockblocked by car traffic leaving the parking lot. Cockblocked 8 times total. Wind from S, SW, W, then N? and 300-500% higher than the foretasted 4mph. Knees hurt most the first 8 miles uphill into the headwind. Felt like 25+ miles into headwind, hills, headwind and hills, but knees were manageable. 1,200 vertical |

At one point, could barely go 7 mph @155bpm into headwind during last mile. Cleared top of steep climb but totoally gassed. 600' vertical, seemed like MUCH more with all the headwind. |

| Comments: Bike rides aren't so bad when: you don't have multiple mechanical failures (only 1 event; loose cleat), horrible violently gusty winds (building wind from changing directions; 5-10mph), no rain when 0% forecast, shitty pavement. Very nice early morning, but got VERY crowded by 0830, cockblocked 5 times. Knees were sore but not completely cooked by end. 1,200 vertical |

| Comments: Now standard Chatfield ride but 1st ride on new cheapass Chinese carbon wheels. Wind was all over the place, low wind, no wind, exponential headwind on last lap. After initial front wheel issue, no mechanical issues after that. Knees weren't perfect but not bad at all. Wheels were definitely much smoother at 90psi. 1,200 vertical. |

| Comments: Was it the new carbon wheels or the waffles? ;-P 2nd ride on carbon wheels, rode a little harder than on Wed. Wind, more wind, then less wind, maybe similar to Wed? Right knee hurt more after the ride than during. Only 1 cockblock during ride, 1,200 vertical. |

| Comments: OK, maybe the carbon wheels aren't fast as I thought, but still smoother. Different bike (CA2), different pedals (Look), different wheels (Reynolds AL), different wind (0-8 N), but almost identical speed. Lack of headwind up the Cols du Sud probably helped alot. can't really explain sudden increas in speed, knees were still tweaky near end. 1,200 vertical |

| Comments: Littleton/Chatfield/Liitleton ride on CA2, only 1100 vertical but sure felt like much more with the swirling headwind. No wind in Littleton, but dead headwind up the Cols Du Sud. 6 cockblocks, and took it VERY easy on trail and thru neighborhood. Garmin registered my 2 walks for pee stops...grrr. Right knee had dull/sharp pain almost entire ride, especially at end. Maybe 3 - 50+ mile ride in 5 days is too many for my knees? |

Had to manage right knee entire ride, but hurt most after ride was over. 1,250 vertical (2 Col du Norde, 2.5 Cols du Sud). 3 cockblocks |

| Comments: Chatfield ride started right at dawn (0617) cause I'd been awake since 0300. Cockblocked 7 times including 200ft from start of ride, pulling out of parking lot..grrr. PR for the 1st 15 miles up the Cols Du Sud (19.6mph), but then added back side of dam, 3 more cockblocks, then sharply increasing headwind up Cols Du Sud on 2nd lap. 1st lap on top of dam had pure crosswind, had to lean into the crosswind. I got VERY nervous hitting near 40mph on the steep downhill. I swear I never did feel a tailwind, only cross and headwinds. Wind shifted from SE, then S, then SW, then W. Knees were pretty much fully cooked by end, the headwind just kills them. Most vertical in a while, 1300'. |

Wind was 0-12mph from multiple, shifting directions. Still having a HELL of a time unclipping from Look pedals, feet come out of shoes before cleats release. Cockblocked only 3 times, 1200' vert |

| Comments: Well that ride SUCKED!! Cleanest air in 3 weeks, but everything else sucked... pavement, people, wind (at top), and especially my right knee. Sore from mile 35 to bitter end, even worse after I got home. 1,000' vertical. Top of Cols du Sud has RAGING wind (15-20+ from SW) so every foot of climbing was dead into the headwind, but much less in protected valleys. Took it relatively easy after knee began to ache and cockblocked like crazy on the trail back to the car. May not ever ride that again, not sure. Felt like I was riding into the sun for 2.5 hrs, screaming headache between the glaring sun and super shitty pavement at end. |

| Comments: Well that ride mostly sucked! Weather forecast fucked me over yet again: forecast was 53F with 1 mph wind, turned out to be 44F, with 15-25mph wind on 2nd lap. How badly can you fuck it up, really??!! Wind was probably 8-12mph from S on the 1st, 15-25mph from SE on 2nd, 10-15mph from ESE on 3rd. Probably windiest this year, definitely on new carbon wheels. Right knee had dull ache from mile 3, but could be from cold air, headwind and 8 miles of Cols Du Sud from start. Bit right knee ended up ok by end, much better than last road ride. Aug was PR for most miles in a month, ever. |

Forecasted for 59F with 4mph, once again, they COMPLETELY fucked it up... 48F with 10-15mph wind for at least the 1st 8 miles up the Cols Du Sud into the freezing headwind. I was frozen! But it quickly warmed up and eventually the wind lessened. Knees sore during the very slow start, but felt better after 1st 8 miles, decided to go for a metric. Right knee was VERY sore by end, but not the worst it has been. 1350 vert, 6 cockblocks |
