Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day out there to all Mafia Members! This is Chad's 1st! Wonder how much sleep he is getting???


Anyway, I climbed Mt Evans from Idaho Springs on Friday. A full 2.4 mph slower than in 2008. I am getting into shape quickly though! Here is a pic of my new Ride from the top!

The Deer Creek Challenge

Billed as the toughest Century Ride in the United States. The Deer Creek Challenge is new and has 12751 ft of climbing in 106 miles. 4200 ft in the first 16 miles. Click here for the profile and map.

I wish you were all available. The Post-Ride Part sounds fun! Free Beer, Catered Cooked Meal and Live Bands!

On a lighter note, Mark and I are putting together a Mountain Bike Ride for later this year since we didnt get into the Laramie Enduro. (Too many people signed up and we missed the cut-off). We are calling it the CRBCC. (Castle Rock Bicycle Company Classic)

The plan is to ride 100 miles of self-designated trails. the half-way point being Pine Valley Ranch for lunch picnic with families and to refuel. Initially we are looking at Indian Creek Canpground as start/finish and ride the Indian Creek Loop to Lenny's Rest and pick up the Colorado Trail. At that point we will ride the 1st 3 sections of the Colorado Trail to Buffalo Creek and up and over to Pinve Valley. I will try to get a route mapped out and send it later. Again, epic ride not gfor the faint of heart.
