Classic Colorado, Part 2
The fam took a short jaunt from Ft Morgan to the mountains...
P.S. By short jaunt, I am referring to the 4+ hour drive in stop & go traffic which is popular with children under the age of 4.
Welcome sign to the Courage Classic...

A mid-ride break with the fam before tackling Vail Pass...20 miles of sheer fun! Emma & Mia were decked out supporting Team "Forza Pagano" -- HOT!
Riding in from Day 1 ride...don't be jealous of my Buns of Steel.
