Racing in the Mountains
Marni, Turbo and I are headed to Park City, Utah tonight for the E100 12 Hour endurance mountain bike race. It's a 12 hour solo race with 10 mile long laps and 1313 vertical feet of climbing per lap. As if that wasn't enough I'm racing in the singlespeed catagory which means I have only 1 gear the whole 12 hours. I'm hoping to ride somewhere between 10 and 13 laps (100-130 miles) and I'm lucky enough to have Marni to come along as my crew.
We've been having a lot of fun riding lately and driving the new bike hauler (Element). Marni did a great job at her first race last weekend! A 5.3 mile 2062 vertical foot hill climb up the Winter Park resort ski hill. More pictures of that are on my blog. The attached pictures are of us on a little ride with friends at Red Rocks last night. It was really beautiful. Wish me luck this weekend!

For anyone curious, Chris did great on his race in Park City this weekend. He got 3rd in the single speed category and did 11 laps for 12 hours and 9 minutes. He also would've gotten 2nd or 3rd in his age group even against geared bikes. We had a lot of fun and he did really well!
