Golden Enchanted Forests

From a front range riding perspective our trails are quite sandy with copious sections of jagged rocks thrown which make for a really challenging experience. The only real dirt we get is WAY up on the divide and in the high mountains where late season snow is the norm.

The exception being the Enchanted Forest of Golden in the Apex trail system. Loamy damp soil inhabits this north facing slope deep in the trees. Some solid jumps, drops, and gnarly roots make for a startling contrast to the Apex trail just 75 yards to the north in the sunny valley. Its 1.3 miles. Just long enough to forget where I am. And close enough to Apex to make lapping it choice.

There is something so peaceful about a rain storm with the calming sound of rain drops and cleansing of the air.

It gets even better when you play the album Boxer by The National. Its like they wrote their album on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

The Koppenberg of Colorado

How can you run a race called The Koppenberg and cancel it because of rain. That's just sad. Message was composed on my mobile device.

We Want to See You!!

Got pictures of you and your friends playing a Lawnsport? Well make sure you find us on Facebook and tag the lawnsport in your photo!

Also, a quick reminder of Lawnsports this Monday:

I think we're going to have a good afternoon for some Lawnsport this Monday, so let's meet at North Boulder Park at 3pm.  Bring your own drink / food and if anyone has some Lawnsport gear - BRING IT!  Last week we had one heck of a game of whiffle ball.  Randy "the howitzer" Reichardt showed us how Iowa does it, must be the corn?

Volleyball? Horseshoes? Kickball? They're all fair game! (Target has them all ON SALE)

Also don't forget it's Bolder Boulder on Monday, so I'm sure the entire city will be shut down all day.  Ride your human powered bikes or else!

PS - please pass this along to anyone / everyone!

Almost There

Time to scribble some addresses, slap some labels on them and they're done. Despite an abundance of technology, the U.S. Postal Service makes me manually address and label first class international packages. I could pay double to have a label and postage printed in one click of the mouse but it just isn't in the margins. Tomorrow's early morning trail ride is lingering and I can't wait.

Something Isn't Right

I'm not really sure what it is, but this picture is seems quite peculiar.

Oh, maybe its Cavendish is all by himself on the descent. Shouldn't he be in the grupetto?

Why Ted King is Rad:

During the race, King will room with the experienced Russian Volodymir Gustov, a veteran of over a dozen Grand Tours. "I don't speak Russian and his English isn't exactly wonderful but we mix it with some French and Spanish. But it's a total learning experience so if I notice he's horizontal then I go and lie down too. Not with him, of course."
