Last blog left me wondering what I could do to get my mojo back.
Think I've got it! Browsing the net, I fell back to one of the trips I've always wanted to do since first visiting Moab in 2002. The Kokopelli trail from Fruita to Moab, Utah.
October 6th, I'll be leaving Grand Junction with Escape Adventures www.escapeadventures.com for the Do-B4-U-Die-140 mile Kokopelli Trail. Probably not the hardest cycling task I've endured, but it will surely be one of the most memorable and hard earned brain-draining ride in recent years. The 5 day, 4 night experience will be full of breathtaking views of the Colorado River, desert vegetation and no doubt, the beginning of a couple of long term friendships with folks who love the out-of -doors and cycling like me.
The week long sabbatical might have ended on Friday in Moab but.....what a coincidence.....The 24 Hours of Moab Endurance Race starts on Saturday. COMO buddy Chris Butler will pick me up on Friday afternoon in Moab and I'll continue the desert lifestyle wrenching and cheering fellow racers on through the dark desert night.
Hell, I might even slip in a ghost lap for some weary team member suffering from owlkeehaul poisoning!!
Training begins in the morning at 5:30am.
MOJO is back.

SEASON ENDS....WHAT TO DO NOW....
The summer race wrap up is over with COMOtion Sports dealing out another 1st place win in the Mountain States Cup Championship climaxing in Breckenridge.
Although I did not contribute points to the team this year, I rallied for the the last 3 events to provide liquid courage, wrenches and support for the team. A mear 28 points separated COMO and Feedback Sports after the Sunday finale. Good jobs guys and gals.

The Winter Park Series ended for me with a tie for 6th place in the over 50 Expert class. I'll have to remember '08 as the year of last places and just trying to finish. See the final tally at
