Epicurian Epic

Last fall, Marshall McKinney and I embarked on a gut-wrenching three-day, 90-mile, 14,000-vertical ride on the Colorado Trail in Summit County. The rub was that we rode unsupported but stayed at the Breckenridge Hyatt and a condo at Copper Mountain—so that we could lounge in the hot tubs and catch the first week of the NFL season. The trip required carrying nothing more than our usual packs and a pair of flip flops. I wrote a feature on the trip that ran in this month’s issue of Adventure Cyclist magazine that was featured at the Interbike show. Seth Hughes provided the stunning photos.
