Scott's Ride Blog

So after flying into Denver and packing the bags we drove to Copper Mnt. Setting out to the West, South West up Copper mnt and up canyon following a river up thru some beautiful scenery. Kerin "Diesel" Dooley set the pace and the girls were setting the tempo, while the guys (aka the pack Mules) we hurts a bit (well I was :) ) As we got up above 10,000' the alt really started to go to my head. And the girls were slowing a bit also. My GI track was a rumbling and my head was bangin! (hell I was even seeing a few stars). but just in time we crested the ridge and Janet's Hut was right there! Man was that a welcome sight as I was hurting! After dropping the bags and getting into some clean cloths I ate as much as I could and drank a bit of wine (the more we ate and drank the less I had to carry on day 2) The altitude came into play again that night when after taking 3 Excedrin the head ache went away but I was not able to sleep much.... Another side effect of hi altitude. Activity Route: -- Elev. Avg: 0 ft Location: Frisco, CO Elev.
