GSL Clarification

Oh ye of Brew-related nomenclature: "Century" connotes distance, not format. There will be plenty of opportunity to defend the green weenie, including TWO state-line sprints! It is not a matter of if there will be stages, just how many and of what type. Stay tuned.

Gira de Seis Lagos

The 2011 version of the LaTour de LaTonka is being planned! Exact format will be forthcoming. I suggest two options for dates - either Labor Day weekend (September 3,4, or 5) to wrap up summer, or mid-October (15th or 16th) when leaves will be at/near peak (a nod to luring Sammy and sister Deidre to PA. Not to mention Jeff and Phantom!). 2-3 months notice should allow for a decision and the hold on the calendar. Comment preference here or by email. The charter LaTour group is invited, plus anybody else who is a good fit for our fun-loving, apres-ride beer-swilling gang.

Posing a Question

September 2011...Labor Day Weekend...in honor of the Vuelta...Gira de Seis Lagos. Another mixed-team, one-day, multi-stage tour, in a geography you never ride. Some cruising, some racing. Much fun. You in?

Headed Home

What a trip. Ended it with a sunrise solo ride up the canyon before one final Boulder espresso. Spiritual. Thanks to Sammy and his clan (including our new little sister Deidre!) for exceptional hospitality, route guidance, and suffering. A couple hundred miles in 5 days. Not far, except that so much was upwards. Thank God what goes up must come down!

If you don't like this ridin'...do something else.

Knackered. Sunburned. Happy.

Half Way There

2 days of serious-ass climbing, everybody is doing well. Today was an easy 2-hour flatland spin. Gonna hit the mountains again tomorrow. Fat, tired, refreshed, and beginning to feel the energy return.

In My Mind I'm Going to Colorado

Now that I have that hockey silliness out of my system, time to be RIDIN' not HIDIN'!!!
