I realized I had never posted this over here, and I`m bored, so here it is!
This was the trip my father, myself, and a friend of mine took this year to see the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado, it was definitely a trip of a lifetime!
This was my first year attending the event, and as such I didn`t have much of an idea what to expect. Day one saw 16 hours of driving starting at 4 AM, and I got stuck with Nebraska. Nebraska blows.
Soon after we rolled into Denver, we were greeted by our first sign of elevation.
...And a few minutes later we were greeted by Denver rush hour traffic.
The closer we got to Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak the more scenic the views became.
We finally got into our hotel room at 8 PM on Thursday night. Qualifying started at 5 AM the next day, which meant that we had to be in our spot on the mountain by 3 AM. Sleep becomes not much more than a memory during race week. Day one ended with a view of the sunset from our room.
