Spikefest

Been trying to make this since the inception. 1st year unable, last year broke my arm the day before, contemplated it, but bailed. This year broke the vicious and was bike less. Spike hooked it up by letting me ride his winter bike, the voodoo.

Met up in Como, then shuttled to the top of Kenosha pass where I made some adjustments to the bike. Then off we went, 9 of us climbing to Georgia pass. Felt good on the first climb turning the 32x19 rather easily so away I went. It was the easiest that climb has ever felt. Hung out at the top, ate some snacks and got a good nap in while waiting on the others.

After the regroup it was new to me trails until breckenridge. So much fun, Brian and I rolled out front pushing the pace. Stopped at the breckenridge brewery for some snacks, then up boreas pass. The sprinkles started at the bottom, subsided and then was full on by the time we were On the gold dust trail. Rolled in the rain on the last chunk of trail, just enjoying the bliss of the moment.

Finished up and rolled back to Leadville. Another beautiful day on the bike. Super chill pace and no flats for me. The first time in weeks that has happened. Thanks for the bike and good times.

The wolfie may be here Friday, just in time for the 100 on Saturday. If not, the voodoo is ready to roll, new gearing, new rear tire and fully charged.




GO RIDE!!!
