Having a little fun.

Augsut really has nothing of importance on my bike schedule. I have been trying to have fun riding. This includes trying increase my commuting efforts on the fixte. Other than that I have been able to get several fine evenings of fly-fishing in on Clear Creek. Serveral trout and cold water on my feet is great way to enjoy an evening. Another fun activity of late has been the long board skateboard. I can take the kids to park on their bikes and I am able to get a couple of hot laps around the park. This has been one of those things that I have really enjoyed, but all my friends look at me like I am insane. Oh well. A friend of mine who owns board shop let me borrow his board and said it would help keep my snow boarding skills sharp. A couple of weeks later he gave me the old shop board and I have been having a blast ever since. Thanks Vince at the BoardRoom. I can not help but look forward to another great season of hitting the slopes. Hope all is well in your world.

Got er' done

The Larmie Enduro was a true epic adveture, and I appreciated every moment. Especially, now that I have a couple of days to recover. From a race pespective I had a very good day. No mechanicals, the bike preformed flawlessly, the nutrition plan worked extrememly well. I was able to finsih in a respectable fashion. I did suffer and suffer a lot, but it was awesome.

From an organization point of view, this may have been the best race I have participated in. It really was cool from start to finsish. Race organizers, volunteers, and the racers were very nice, low key and down right comfortable. Nobody lost their cool and everybody respected each others efforts. I would like to say a huge thank you to the race organizer Rich, and all the tremendous volunteers. Everyone provided over the top support with a smile. Each time I pulled into an aid station someone would fill my camelback, bottles and nutrional needs and get me and all the racers back out on the trail. This was truly incredible.

I would also like to say special thank to MarkyBru for driving my ass up and back. Carey you are awesome.
