I went for a drive this afternoon on the highest paved road in North America

Mt. Evans - Top of the road = 14,130' Mt. Evans = 14,234'

Nice to cool off after spending this last week in Oklahoma.

My friend Eric is just west of there on the Tour Divide Mountain Bike Race. He only has another 900 or so miles to go before Antelope Wells NM.

Wow, quite the ride.

I am always amazed at how fast some people can ride up Mt. Evans on their bicycles.

I was talking to one guy up there today who had ridden all the way from Golden. Unfortunately today someone took a pretty bad spill by Summit Lake and had to be airlifted out.

They are probably next year's model. You see a fair number of test cars on Mt. Evans. Here are couple of the ones that I have seen.
