I’ve driven over Vail pass so many times in the past years and always thought, “I need to ride the pass.”   So, I woke up and drove over to Vail, which is a town I love so much in the Summer.

I checked into the hotel, which is a Marriott, of course.  It’s a beautiful property and actually a Vacation Club.  I got upgraded to a room that was bigger than house.  It’s so huge… even my clothes have their own room.

When I woke up to bike up the pass it was cloudy and cold.  Even though the weather sucked, I decided to head out and not let the it dictate my day.

As soon as I started up the hill, the rain came and it didn’t stop.  I got poured on.   Even with the non stop drizzle, I had a fantastic time.  I got drenched inside and out.  Even the beard was soaked…!!

After a day in the rain and cold, nothing better than a dip in the hot tub followed by a cigar and some beer…!!
