The Facebook era has replaced older fashioned Blogging but I still feel like like there is a lot more thought and composition that goes into a subject Blog. More focused than the on-the-fly FB post or Tweet.
So here we go....
During the evolution of the Colorado MTB racer's menu that included Cross Country, Short Tracks and an occasional and entertaining Super Downhill event, Enduro took over in 2013.
Great for the Mountain States Cup Downhill racers left without a regional series.
But for the rest of us who spent stupid amounts of credit limits to attend races at all the ski resorts in Colorado and New Mexico there was no benefit. Enduro racing now requires a long travel bike and a longer weekend with 2-day events at the same venues we previously forked out mega-cash to stay at to keep the spouses at bay. We offered hot tubs, dog sitting and in-room massages for penance.
EVOLVE
2014---Training and efforts have moved to organized road event starting with the Santa Fe Century, New Mexico
2014---June 1st weekend in Castle Rock for Elephant Rock Ride
2014- Saturday July 12, Triple Bypass
Weekends between filled with MTBing trips to Staunton State Park, Salida, Horsetooth Reservoir and Front Rangeopen spaces.

I'm loving your schedule Dave .. Salida is still on my 'to do' list after missed it last time. That Triple Bypass looks great, especially as I now have a 'road' bike too ! Checkout the Bloggery for pictures ..
