This was a single ride done from the Steamboat conference so technically I was no longer on vacation, but why quibble. I retraced our route of a couple days before up 38 to Windy Hill Rd and climbed most of the long gravel roads we'd descended. I spend an hour and a half climbing steadily - the last half hour climbing hard, but still didn't manage to get to the top. That is one really long climb. About 20 minutes of high speed descending and ten minutes rolling after back to the car. Andrew helped me true my rear wheel after I replaced the broken spoke, but it looks like I should replace the entire rim.
All in all a great bike based vacation with almost 20 hours of saddle time in a seven day period.
