Summer Race Wrap Up Can Begin Now..Grandpa's Done

Weiner power provided by Cinnamon and Sugar help Kaitlyn, 5 , negotiate uphills at
Garden of The Gods Campground.

Last 2 weeks have been consumed doing the annual "grandpa" thing entertaining 3 granddaughters and 1 inseparable cousin.
Yea it's been fun spending money at all the Colorado Springs tourist traps and time with the kids in the woods. BUT...serious training and race prep became non-existent at a time when we need to accumulate as many Winter Park Series points as possible.

Bailing on the August 2nd Crankworks XC dropped my standing from second to fourth. With only two races remaining and 2 drops to deduct, I'm thinking that finishing last in 5 of 7 events is not worthy of an end of series podium stand even if the numbers remain weird.


Not totally off the bikes, Tori, Baley and I tore up the trails behind Peaceful Valley Campground and had fun watching an un-named riders get dunked in the mud boggs like a chocolate covered Dairy Queen cone.

August 16th brings the 6th Winter Park XC Loop followed by the long awaited Tour de Cure century ride on the 23rd
