This week's Aspen Cycling Club race was a mt. bike race on Basalt Mt. A fast, fun race. I rode well and finished in 4th after duking it out with teamate Joel. I'll spare you the details, you can catch the premier on Oct.1
Feeling strong and psyched for these next couple of weeks to come and go. It's starting to get pretty chilly in the mornings which makes it a little more difficult to get up and going for my early morning rides. I'm definitely rocking the knee warmers, heavier gloves, shoe covers, vest, etc. I love the autumn riding though...just have to make sure to wear the bright clothes so I'm not mistaken for a deer. Yep, it's deer season. You gotta love all the "welcome hunters" signs hanging from the liquor store windows. That's a good combo, guns and booze!!
On a more important note, my thoughts and prayers go out to Tara Llanes. Tara had a horrible crash at the Jeep King of the Mountain finale in Beaver Creek. She is recovering from 7 hours of surgery to try to repair damage to her spinal cord that has resulted in below the waist paralysis.

About Me
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. -Theodore Roosevelt

I have really enjoyed reading the
ZOG BLOG by Scrappy. Keep up the good work Capt. B. You are both respected and loved by those of us on the (original) home front. Maybe we'll see you in Moab.
