BRECKENRIDGE COLORADO

THE FIRECRACKER 50 MOUNTAIN BIKE RACE
THE MARATHON MOUNTAIN BIKE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT.
Last week I joined Jenny in a trip to Colorado
She was directing a centering prayer conference in Denver
and I went to the hills ....

To have our old friend Jeff Kerkove and his very good and fast friend
Sonya Looney

show me the race course.

We met up with some of their friends
and rode the entire challenging scenic and fun course.
Two of these dudes ear from Green Iowa and all of them are very fast.

Nice to be able to ride a mountain bike in the
MOUNTAINS

A lot of variety

It was a good day of riding.
To be able to preride the race course takes some of the mystery and fear out of the race.
But, make no mistake
it is going to be a hard day of racing.
Thanks to Sonya for the pictures
And to Jeff for putting up with my pace.
Both of these guys could be on the podium when the dust settles.
