Thanks for all the comments folks, I’ve been on the road for a few days and just getting a chance to reply.

ClydeinKS: Yes, TrainingPeaks is the software, the table is copied into Word for a little nicer formatting, the chart is a simple screen-grab

The Fruit Loops actually run along Apple Valley Road in Lyons, so the road name provides the inspiration – but there are lots of apples and peaches along the way. I’ve never poached one – but maybe this year ;-)

“There are the ‘fruit loops’ in Lyons with some beautiful canyons…”

Thanksalot. Now I need to get out and scout some routes containing fruit trees. Every group ride needs a route called the ‘fruit loops.’ That is funny!

Nicely done. My 100MoN had some similarities. 400 feet (X10 laps) of climbing was not among them. My report is still a work in progress.

Nice report. Flagstaff, Old Stage and Rabbit Mountain take me back to our years in the area. Nostalgia rolls over me in waves. Sniff.

Watching the prairie dog version of the wave as you ride by is entertaining, but I don’t think I have ever been hungry enough that the thought of eating one of them was appealing. You must have been really hungry.

Great place to live and ride. Thanks for the report. You are a MoNarch – nice catch word for all the MoN champions.

Well ridden, and well written!

Eagles are definitely a good sign on a ride. Turkey vultures are not. Glad to see the stats kept you ahead of the buzzards.

Now should you ever have success capturing one of those woadside wascals, think;

I should have spent my last 4 miles on a beer run. Brilliant!
