Breck68 Mtn Bike Enduro – T. Taylor
Going into the Breck68 I was feeling reasonably confident. My brain and body were becoming acclimated to the special requirements of racing mountain bike endures, as the previous two weekends I had competed in 50 and 40 mile events. I had raced this course in 2010, and knew that it suited me well. Continue Reading »
40 In The Fort Mtn Bike Enduro – T.Taylor
I was pretty excited when I first found out about the 40 mile mountain bike enduro that was to take place in July in Lory State Park, just west of Fort Collins. It’s a first time event, and I took advantage of the early registration in March to snag one of the 150 coveted entries. Continue Reading »
Superior-Morgul RR 45+4s
I had heard about the Superior-Morgul road race last year,and It sounded like alot of fun, so I decided to put it on the schedule for this year.So with the early start time I loaded up the car the nite before,laid off the beer, and went to bed early. The only issue I had was that I hadn’t pre-registered. However, upon arrival I managed to find the registration tent easily. So I paid the fee, and glanced down at the registration sheet and noticed that fifty-two other riders had entered my catagorie. So I pinned on my number, zipped tied the transponder to my headtube,checked the pressure in my Kenda Kaliente tires and got dressed. Slapped on some Belgium Butter, and When I was ready, I headed to the start line with only ten minutes to spare untill the start of the race. Continue Reading »

One of the things that i’ve discovered i love about bike racing is that a lot of the discipline and decision making skills that racing (or any sport) helps you develop apply to real life as well. I discover this in small ways all the time.
Sunday Team Ride
We had 10 today for the ride up Poudre/Stove Prairie/Masonville. Chilly at Stove Prairie down Buckhorn. This is a great loop this time of year, with little traffic up the Poudre, and we’ll likely come back to this ride until traffic gets too heavy. We’ve been leaving BCP a bit later than what I post to enable people to finish their coffee/breakfast sandwiches, in case you’re considering heading down for the ride one of these weeks.

Bailey Hundo Mountain Bike Race
I am happy that goal of a 100 mile race is behind me! The Bailey Hundo was set up as a fundraising race for the Colorado High School Mountain Bike League and Trips for Kids. In its first year only 150 applicants got picked to race. Dave Weins and JHK were on the line shortly before 6am at 40 degrees. When the double barreled shotgun blast was fired we took off.
