Mt. Evans two days ago, got beat up by the old guy crew. Scott Moninger 1st-age 39. Ned Overend 2nd-age 51. Mike Carter 3rd-age 43. 4th for me-age 27. Moninger and Ned went away about 1/2 way through and I couldn’t accelerate. Felt better towards the top and gunned it a little just past Summit Lake. Found a nice rhythm and separated myself from the chase group of 5 riders. Mike Carter came across to me 2 miles from the top and the two of us rode together thru the switchback to the finish. In the last switchback Carter made a small acceleration and I had no answer, just made my way across the line for fourth place. Pretty happy to be able to pull out a decent ride though after being so sick the previous few weeks. Hopefully I can put in two solid weeks here and get ready for Utah.
