I was able to get a couple of rides in today to finally reach my first milestone of 25,000 feet! My first ride was early this morning before the sun came up. I wanted to get an early start so I could see the sunrise on my way up Rocky Canyon. I would have really liked to have been on top of Aldape Summit when the sun came up over the mountains, but I'm not about to get up that early. On the way down I saw some cool pack horses just off the main road. I'll add a picture below.

Me on Shane's Loop
The second ride today was a lunch hour ride up Rocky Canyon to Lower Shane's Loop and down Central Ridge. That route provides 800 feet elevation gain which I knew would put me over the 25,000 mark. I actually felt really good. Jeremy went along for the ride again and snapped a photo just before Shane's when I hit the milestone. I'll probably take tomorrow off and then hit it again on Friday.
