If I could get paid to do this forever, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Pat and Jen m taking it all in

Nc2sd way up high

We then took the gondola up for a great view of what we just biked! Ethan below in the gondola.

Amazing job everyone :)

11,312 feet? No sweat.

"all you have to do today is ride your bike"

We have a saying on bike & build and it really accurately described how I felt on our way up to monarch pass that day. It was a challenging climb but so gorgeous and so rewarding. We had been nervous and excited for this day, where we would reach the highest Elevation of our trip, and it certainly lived up to our expectations. Everyone absolutely killed it on the ride up. We waited fr every member of the team to ride up so we could all share in the experience of reaching the peak together. I spent a solid 3-4 hours at the summit, just taking it all in.
