Default how high did I fly
Most of my rides in the mountains reach 10,000 feet at the least. Highest was over Independence Pass 12,095 feet

Hey sidecar,

Have you got a URL for that southwest section?

I searched for "green chili" but could not find. (At least not on this website.)

Was a great ride, several peaks at around or over 11,000 feet.

Thanks for posting the link I couldn't find. Lot's of neat photos and videos.

Was a ride on the SkyCoaster mandatory for the Green Chili Run?

Only four of the group did the SkyCoaster, but they had a blast.

Every year we ride all over Colorado. Mt. Evans is one of those must do great ones that's high and a challenge to get to the top. It's over 14,000 ft up. Lots of wicked switchbacks, thin air, and instant weather changes await those who take this trip. But our 2009 FLHRC got us up there no problem. Can't wait to do it again.

I'm going to put Mt. Evans on my 2010 ride list, even if I have to trailer my bike to Denver.
