"Little" Former Swiftie Wins Nats

Hi All,

Michael won the Junior Men's 13-14 National Championship road race two days ago, here in Bend Oregon.  We are super happy and proud of him. It was super hot(95 degrees) and a tough and hilly 40 km (25 mile) course (7 laps of a 5 km circuit plus 2.5 km in and out to the circuit).  From the 60 starters 7 boys formed a group about half way through, and Michael said that he could tell he was probably the strongest of these 7.  On the 2.5 km back to the finish they shed 4 riders and then 1 more, so Michael was left with a 2 up sprint for the line.  Michael won this handily, giving him lots of time to celebrate before the line.

Here are a few pics from the race.  More can be found at my facebook page:

The time trial is tomorrow, and criterium Saturday.

Cheers,

Boulder Mt. Ventoux Ride - After coverage --- North to Hygine, LeftHand Canyon, Jamestown to SUPER Jamestown.

 

 

*Buddy and Portia where pretty disappointed in the tour to the St. Bernard.  Not enough coverage of the dogs rescuing kids.  http://d.yimg.com/i/ng/sp/p5/20090721/12/3934408968.jpg

Luisa - Does watching the tour count as training?

Thursday evening 7/2 MTB ride

I am going to head out on the MTB this Thursday evening. If you feel like doing some fire road climbing, this is your ride. I am planning on riding up Four Mile to Logan Mill, riding up that (if I can remember how to get through the serpentine maze of roads up there), out to Sugarloaf, down to Betasso, and a lap at Betasso if I am feeling frisky. Pace will be slow to moderate.

I will pass through Eben Fine Park at 5:30 and then head on up the canyon. As always, rain or thunder - no ride.

Sunday 6/28 ride

Hi all, This is my proposal for this Sunday June 28 ride: I think the weather WON"T be too hot (in the 80s) to ride Rist Canyon Long option: Start at Vic's at 7:30 a.m. Short Option: Drive to Carter Lake - Meet and Start at Carter Lake (Marina's shop) at 9:30 a.m. Please, let me know if and which option you like to join, so I can plan accordingly. Ciao Luisa

Thursday evening (6/24) MTB ride

I am going to do few laps at Betasso on Thursday evening. I'll ride up the canyon to the link trail, ride/push up that and then do some loops. Pace will be slow - my geared bike is out of commission, so I will be on a single speed. I will pass through Eben Fine Park at 5:30, so hang out at the west end of the park if you are interested.

Rain or thunderstorms - no ride.

Swift Big Ride Week - July 6 to July 10

Swift Big Ride Week - July 6 to July 10
Al got a week off of work mentioned doing a Big Ride from Monday July 6 to Friday July 10.  I think I'm in. I think Sharon is in.  More the Merrier.
It would be either self support or Van support with people taking turns driving.  If Van support, we will do camping along the way.  I vote for Van support as we can bring more food and drinks!
Pace - Whatever you want.  Will have regroups and stops at stores.
Cost - Cheap!  Spend money on food, drink and bike stuff.
 
Open to All - email Al or Me if interested. 

Route?  5 Day Idea #1...  Depending on Camping/Lodging locations...
1. Colorado City to Wetmore - 43 Miles - (so around 38 to Chrisplip place) - Lots of Climbing.  Or Start/Finish in Wetmore with out and back route.
2. Wetmore to Salida - ~ 75 Miles - Minor Climbing - 24 Miles on US 50.  I think has a small shoulder by river.
3. Salida to Saguache (46 Miles) to Campground near North Pass ~70 Miles - Medium Climbing
4. Campground near of North Pass to Gunny  ~80 Miles - One Climb over North Pass, then down to Gunny.
5. Gunny to Buena Vista - 67 Miles - Climbing!!! - (Then 2.5 hour drive home)
Approx - 335 Miles - Minus car shuttle miles.  Could increase depending on actual camping locations.

Friday Happy Hour; Saturday MTB Ride

Friday - 5/19 - Happy Hour - I'm think Boulder Beer on Wilderness Place off of Valmont

5ish till whenever.  RSVP so I can get a table.  We will celebrate the end of Spring and Spring Weather! 

 

Saturday - 5/20 - Mountain Bike Ride - Heading up to Nederland for West Mag and Dot Trails.  Leave around 9:00.  Send me an email and we can carpool up. 

Good luck to all at Mike Horgan HC.  Kick some butt...

Next weekend Winter Park MTB Series.  http://www.epicsingletrack.com/default.asp?page=racedes/race2des.html - Hopefully they can find a course around all the logging due to Pine Beatles. 

 

Happy Trails,

Stephen

Many thanks to all of you who showed up to clean bottles after Hugo! Besides the crew you see in front, you can see two hiding back by the van to the left and two dogs who joined us since they can't stay home by themselves when it thunders. ; )
