Colorado Trail Race Starts Today

Kyle's Colorado Trail Race starts Monday

Leadville, Silver Rush 50 mile mountain bike race

The Rush was more like a crawl to the finish for me this year. I had high expectations of beating my time last year. But last years training couldn't help me through the lack of this years. I felt great, riding good on my new bike. But lack of time in the saddle and the higher temps made the climbing Leadville Tough. Did I mention the course this year as a bit harder. More climbing!! Kyle encouraged me at the 25 mile turn around station. He didn't give me a chance to say much. He topped of the water and nutrition needs and off I went, with 10 minutes to spare from not making the cutoff. The course had beautiful flowers on the tougher climbs. New year I'm going back to meet my goals.
