Posted by whitey on 7/18/2007 on whitey's blogThe ride up Mt Evans was pretty sweet. As planned, I started in Idaho Springs and climbed 7,000 feet over 28 miles to the top. It was a fairly mellow climb with very little traffic and beautiful scenery. On the way up I saw a small glacier where someone had left some fresh snowboarded tracks and multiple people had carved their names. I also saw the real Billy Goat Gruff and we had a little chat while I took his picture. With about two miles to go you could see the top, and it seemed so close, but there were at least 10 switch backs in the way so it felt like forever.
