So it is now 9pm on Monday night and in just 2 days my parents and sister will be arriving here in Denver. My sister has been out for my birthday the last couple of years, however my folks have not been to Colorado since my college graduation in 2004. I’m really looking forward to…
Tomorrow morning, when you are still sleeping, I will be heading out with my best buddy Phil for another quad burning ride. For about 3 years now Phil and I have talked about summiting Mt. Evans by riding from Denver. Well, tomorrow we are going to do just that. The ride is mapping out to…

I’ll finally post a report from my epic race tonight or tomorrow. Looks like I’ll be moving the blog over to a new server as well in the process. Come back soon!
