We dedicated today's ride to Will. Will just turned 5 yesterday and was born with Aortic Stenosis. His grandparents, Bill and Lisa, own Pagosa Pedal and Powder. Bill sponsored some supplies and made sure our bikes were running well prior to our climb.
Wolf Creek Pass didn't end up being as tough as we had imagined as we've been in high elevation for the last 10 days and our lungs are starting to get used to it. On the way down the pass we exceeded speeds of 50 mph!
Just after our long downhill, Nick and I rubbed tires and Nick went tumbling off the bike. Fortunately he fell in the grass on the side of the road, but he did crack his helmet and damaged his seat. Being the tough guy that he is, Nick shook it off and finished the day. Because safety and health of the cyclists is the priority of The Children's Heart Foundation, at the end of the day Nick was taken in for a full medical exam. The Doctor issued a medical release to resume cycling immediately!
We are really looking forward to meeting our Kids4theCHF, Benjamin and Addison, in Denver... getting closer!
