Day 6 - Kitt's Peak

Another big day in the desert. Started out with a tough drafting set with the Saskatchewan of 15 x 300 drafting (4 hard 1 easy). Following this we headed out for a ride at Kitt's Peak. We started out at Three Peaks, and set off into a very strong head/side wind. The younger kids got dropped off at the base of the climb. The climb up to the observatory at the top of Kitt's Peak was very gusty and there were some parts where the wind made it very difficult to continue up. Everyone battled hard though and made their way up the 12 mile 7% climb. The wind was so strong that it even blew some people off their bikes. The descent was pretty tricky with the gusty winds but everyone made it down safely. We finished off the ride with a spin back to the starting point at Three Peaks. Charles fell again. He is ok.

Here are some pictures from today:

Aquathon in the morning good luck to everyone! Go Team Manitoba!
