Durango to Silverton and Back

I did my annual 100 mile ride today. Climbing 10k feet at up to 10,900 ft of altitude. There must have been 100 riders out riding various legs of our Iron Horse Classic course! It's 50miles and started years ago when 2 brothers bet each other that a bike could beat the Durango -Silverton Narrow Gauge Train..well the bro on the bike won...
As for me...I was talking to myself to keep the pedals going on the way back.
I stopped at the Needles Store near Durango Mountain Resort and got a cold Coke! Gu's..etc..nothing works like a cold Coca Cola to bring you back.
I'll see how I feel manana!
