A Day at the Movies

One of the fun things about doing the Leadville 100 Mtn bike race the last two years is that a botique movie was made both years on the event.

When your in the race you experience your little slice of the event.  It is really fun to watch it from a different perspective months after all the training is done and the pain of the event is long gone.

Last year, the movie was mostly about Lance Armstrong battling 6 time winner and local favorite Dave Wiens. 

However, there was a cameo closeup of Joanne at the very end that made her squeal "That's Me!"

There are 1,500 plus stories of people taking on the challenge that day, it will be fun to see which one's they capture this year.  

Training for the Leadville 100 has changed Joanne's and my life.   I guess our story would be that it is a hard event that is barely within our grasp, that we prep for togethor, all year long.

Normal people trying to accomplish something a little beyond the norm.   

If you get to see the movie you will undoubtedly see footage of some of America's best mountain bikers pushing all out for a top position or win.

You'll also see a lot of normal people, going a little beyond the norm.

All with stories of a journey.

Two Months of Catching Up

We Hope Your Summer Has Ended As Well As Ours!

How Trusting Would You Be?

Would you trust your spouse to do this to your back yard?

A 5 foot deep trench across the entire yard

Ending about 4' under the house to tie into water & nat.gas

So, now you know what I have been up to since the Leadville 100 mtn bike race.  

We have managed to sneak in a couple of rides, but only a couple in the last month.  Almost all available free time has been a race to get the mess I have made cleaned up before bad weather arrives.

Almost there!  

I am very thankful for an indian summer so far!

{ and a very trusting wife ! }
