Dammit
From my experience of Colorado it just takes time - the first visit is the one where thing such as for e.g. a pedestrian motorway overpass with steps either end gives you a slight shock at how much more effort is required to get your breath, but as you spend longer out there (and when you return) it gets easier. The thing I noticed most is that the fitter you are in general, the less impact altitude had on me -when I went out last time I rode with a chap who lived there, and who was much fitter than I was, I ended up panting like a hot dog after it has sprinted for the frisbee.
