While Brennan and Jason had perhaps their most impressive day of riding ever, I was not on my game. I missed Jason on our first break at the top of Trail Ridge Road. I missed both of the guys when I was supposed to meet them just below the tree line to take their extra layers. Thankfully, I was able to meet them at the stop for the night, a Super 8 in Loveland, Colorado.

Today's grueling trek up the highest paved road in the US is much better left to Jason, who rode it and tells the tale here. Otherwise, enjoy a few snapshots along the way, as well as a 3-minute video that shows my perspective of the breath-taking views from the support vehicle's dash cam:
