• Final push up to Marathon Nationals & Breck-Epic

    What a super final weekend of training leading up to Marathon Nationals and the Breck-Epic Stage race...all of which start July 4th. This Saturday, Sonya and I drove up to Breckenridge to pre-ride one loop of the Marathon Nationals course. We had a great group of folks to ride with...
    Dejay Birtch & Rebecca Tomaszewski of Team Niner/Ergon

    Jake Kirkpatrick

    John Adamson of Team Bike-Tech

    Andrew and Stephen Carney of Big Wheel Racing.

    The pace was super relaxed for the entire day...and included lots of stopping and chatting. No still images from the ride, but I did shoot tons of video.



    Sunday was more of the same. A brief 2.5 hour spin with Sonya, Dejay Birtch, Nick Martin, and Jake Kirkpatrick. We stayed a bit closer to home and rode just west of Boulder up in Nederland, CO.
