Everything that’s happened to me recently has been about frame of reference. For example, I was up at Winter Park early yesterday to preride the course for next week. I arrived at 8AM and the temperature was 47F. Yikes, this seemed very cold… mainly because it was the summer. Image a […]

The Fourth of July was a good day. Instead of climbing Mt. Evans as planned, the kids and I watched Jeanie do a 5k in the morning, and then I headed up to Centennial Cone. By that time, I kicked my cold and was feeling more normal. I had a good ride, […]

The Tour de France kicks of next weekend, and though the state of professional road cycling is in shambles with doping scandals, I’m still excited. Here’s a quick Lance Armstrong highlights video to whet your appetite. It’s a wide open race this year. From an American perspective, Levi Leipheimer is our only […]
