The race effort of the 2010 season. Or, at least I think it is. Giving the Vapor Trail 125 another go. For me, this is one of the top events of the season. How could it not be with one single loop that is 125 miles and gives you…
Jones Pass
Jones Pass, it sits just southwest of the Winter Park area. It’s not a super popular ride….at least I think it is not, but a few folks get up there during the snow free months. For me, this was the first time to get up to the pass…..the…
Rest and Recovery
A lot of rest and recovery leading up to next weekends Vapor Trail 125. The Vapor Trail goes down in my book and the 2 greatest event I do all year. The Colorado Trail Race takes the top spot….then the Vapor Trail….then the Breck-Epic Stage …
Breck-Epic: Stage 6
The 6 stage. The last of the stages. Got to admit, didn’t want to crawl out of bed for Stage 6. Was the first time all week that I actually was forced out of bed by a screaming alarm from my cell phone. Six AM came around….coffee and fuel….the …
Breck-Epic: Stage 5
After yesterday’s suffer-fest in the 2nd part of the stage, Sonya and I settled into a easy pace off the start. The entire time, looking down the switchbacks to see a charging Kent Eriksen team. But after about 15 minutes of ‘light’ pedaling, Sonya s…
Breck-Epic: Stage 4
Don’t think I really need to dwell on the specifics of this stage as Sonya was the one to have to dig deep and suffer. We started off hot and fast….but paid for it dearly in the later half of the event. Sonya has the finer details. Even though we …
Breck-Epic: Stage 3
What a stage! 44 miles and just over 9400 feet of climbing! We had good weather at the start, then some clouds rolled in just as we crossed the Continental Divide twice on the day. The climb over French Pass went well for Sonya and I….
Breck-Epic: Stage 2
It wasn’t a walk in the park, but Sonya and I got it done again today taking 1st place by about 15 minutes over 2nd place. Our start was slow…and we eased into the 41 mile stage with the plan to pin it after about 1.5-2 hours of riding. S…
Breck-Epic: Stage 1
Sonya Looney and I got things started off on the right foot today, by taking the win in the Coed Duo category at the Breck-Epic Stage Race. Overall, we had a good day with no mechanical or other issues. We set a good pace and rode it from s…
Here we go!
Racing starts on Sunday! Reports, video, and pics to come!
