What time of year did you ride there?
Adrian's TABR report:
"It's hot 35 degrees and the sweat is stinging my eyes like hot pokers""the sweat in my eyes is starting to become a problem I need to solve. I'm wiping it away every few seconds. It's putting pressure on my left hand almost riding one handed"
"No matter how slow I took the climb the sweat was pouring into my eyes burning like acid"
Kentucky...
"Humidity 100% everything was dripping with sweat"
"This is when I realised I'd done all the damage to the left hand in the first half trying to keep the sweat out of my eyes it was like riding one-handed for the first 1000 miles."
It's amazing what can hurt when you multiply a 'normal ride' x 30.

Dammit
My experience of climbing in Colorado is that the sweat will evaporate with great rapidity, my helmet straps went from black to white in a morning.
