Classic: Monarch Crest to Silver Creek

S-House and I and the ladies camped out in Buena Vista this weekend, and then headed a bit further south for one of the most spectacular rides around. The weather threatened all day, but held out until mile 25 or so, after we were safely below treeline. About 4 hours after starting, we arrived back at the meeting point soaked, muddy, and all smiles. Especially since we had warm pizzas waiting there thanks to the wives!
