Colorado Dreamin...

Our domain for the weekend... Laura and I are headed to the Colorado front range this weekend for a few days of R&R. We'll be taking off Friday and staying near Lyons. The map above highlights the general area on which I plan to focus the bulk of my riding time while we're there... Will definitely be hookin' up with lots of Colorado homies on Sunday, at Deathmarch Dave's BFR 3, but I'll be riding on Friday afternoon and Saturday too, so hopefully I'll be able to hook up with SDA, Butch, Shithouse, BG, Pablo, Melis and others on the other days too.

What's the details homey? And when can you ride Friday and Sat?

Definitely looking forward to you guys coming out. I prerode the deathmarch route on Monday. Took be between 6 and 7 hours solo.

It's going to play out like a greatest hits album of most of our favorite places to ride. Can't wait to show you man.

Hey Davey... We're heading out Friday morning, shooting to take off at 7am, central time. So let's plan to ride Friday afternoon when you get off work. Saturday, I might plan to ride twice -- once earlier in the day, perhaps with SDA and a couple of others, and then later in the day with you after you close the shop up. We'll see if that comes to fruition, or if Laura calls BS on me on that one... ;-)

I like the sounds of what you're talkin' about though!!

I'll try to give you a shout this afternoon -- we'll figger' it out.

Cheers,
MG

Hey-O, Have fun riding in the Fort, it's my backyard and the trails are pretty sweet!

Word Homies... Sda, I'll give ya' a shout Thursday and we'll get synced up for Friday and Saturday, but in short, maybe meet up in Lyons Friday afternoon around 4 or so at Redstone?

Andrew, you're totally welcome to join us! That'd be sweet. My friend Dave Chase owns Redstone Cyclery in Lyons -- redstonecyclery.com. The ride he's hosting on Sunday is going to be a big one. You'd definitely dig it. See Dave's comment -- the first one in this string, on his pre-ride of the course earlier this week.

Cheers,
MG

Thanks for the invite, but I'll be sleeping in the weekend and resting up for the Moab 24 next week. It looks like a killer loop though!

MG said...

Hey, good luck at Moab, Andrew. You may run into my good buddy Dave Chase out there. He'll be racing this weekend as well, but on a team, and they're riding a bit more (ahem...) recreationally than you'll be racing.
