Dave Jevans Death Ride Thoughts: what a come back!

Dave Jevans thoughts on the Death Ride: Dave snapped his femur last year skiing-lots of metal in his leg now. This is a pretty big come back!

Long, steep, and painful
Deep snowdrifts on Ebbetts pass
Beautiful sunshine

I had my front tire blowout "POP" at 32mph. I did not crash but it scared me a lot. I almost decided to abandon after 4 passes, cuz 17 mile long descent at over 50mph was next. But I manned up and finished.

I'm still not happy about that blowout though.

Other than that, it was Fabulous and all other team members are Wusses for not joining us. It's only 15000 feet of climbing at altitude. Come on!
