Lunch: Carbon Valley Coffee Roasters in Frederick, Colorado
Dinner: Punch Bowl Social in Denver, Colorado
End: Brennan and Haley apartment in Denver, Colorado
Today's biking distance: 72 miles
Total biking distance: 339 miles
Our final day was about as simple as it gets: less than 80 miles in a straight line to Brennan's apartment back in Denver. Amy was my co-sherpa, and the other wives, Haley and Sarah, decided to kill time at New Belgium Brewery while the guys did the real work biking to the finish line.
Our lunch stop was in Frederick, Colorado. There were two interesting things in this small town. First, there was a combination scuba and barber shop (not to be confused with a combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell). The second was what looked like some sort of chainsaw wood carving competition. We would have loved to stick around and taken the blue ribbon (or gotten a haircut specifically catered to my scuba mask), but we had a Denver to get to!
When the guys arrived, we celebrated with some, you guessed it, New Belgium Rolle Bolle, got cleaned and showered up, and headed out for a celebratory dinner, along with our pal Sas!
This trip included many firsts for the moustaches rides:
- first significant elevation gains
- first motel room with three beds (finally!)
- first trip with the wives joining
- first trip-themed t-shirts!
- first dashcam footage (here's my hour-long drive on Trail Ridge Road, compressed into a 3-minute video):
What will the 5th moustache ride add to the illustrious history of this annual trip? Only time will tell.
In the meantime, don't forget to check out all of the pictures from this year's trip at our Flickr page.
Until next time...
