The last time I climbed North Cheyenne Canyon, I weighed at 228.5 pounds.  Today, I weighed 188.5 pounds and climbed it with Josh, one of the most gifted climbers I’ve ever ridden with.  We had planned to ride from Broadmoor down to Florence but the wind was steady at 15 mph from the south (read: HEADWIND) and gusting in the mid 40’s.  It was kinda chilly too (around 50) so we decided to ride close to Cheyenne Mountain for protection and do the hills.

When I first climbed this bad boy, I clocked a tad over 37 minutes (yikes!).  Today’s time:  23 minutes, 48 seconds (clocked from the gate).  Not great, but getting closer to my ultimate goal of sub 20.  I’ve previously written about the climb up N. Cheyenne Canyon HERE and HERE.

Here’s the ride profile (guess which spike is N. Cheyenne…):
