The weather closing in as we're on our way up

meal time at the top of loveland pass - it's snowing

The look says it all

Nathan trying to warm up

nearing the top of the 3rd significant climb 5 hours in (and still very cold and wet)

the sweet views from vail pass

me rounding the corner at the top of vail pass

the look of pain

Nathan celebrates second place with the fists of victory

Off to Vail

Glad it's all downhill from here
