Yesterday, I drove from Bentonville, AR to Salida CO. That's 795 miles, OR from about 1,000ft elevation to 7,000! Today, I'm going to go on a 18 mile ride where I will gain an ADDITIONAL 2,500 ft. to make for a total elevation gain of 8,500 in ONE DAY!
My question is simple: how will my body handle this elevation change with no time to acclimate? Will I be able to make the 10 mile climb to the top? Will I have any energy on the long downhill?
Only one way to find out!
LFRHGS!
