Memorial Day means Bolder Boulder weekend in town. I hate BB weekend since it makes it impossible to get anywhere all morning Monday and the town is absolutely inundated with people – which this weekend means that my trip to Whole Foods will take 3-times as long as normal to do the grocery shopping (I’m borderline-paranoid about chemicals and all the other nonsense that shows up in ‘conventional’ food these days). But if BB is the trade-off that I have to make for a 3-day weekend, I think I can suck it up…
Also this weekend, Hüdz-sponsored Team Vera Bradley Foundation did some woopin’ up here in Colorado taking both the Iron Horse and Morgoul-Bismark classics. Congratulations to Lisa and her team, they are a fantastic group of racers, and the ones that I know personally are also some swell lasses so it’s great to see them having such success this season.
Taking some time this morning to sit, enjoy the cool weather, and drink some (probably more than I should) coffee. Riding this afternoon since I think the idea is to climb up to Jamestown and then head over on either South St. Vrain or Hygiene road and then back to town for another 3-hour ride. Tomorrow I’m in Leadville all afternoon, so we’ll see how it goes getting in a ride before I leave… I’d hate to have to hit the trainer late at night when I get home…
