Two of us had done the 24 hour in Moab before, Alex has always wanted to do it, and Bruce, well.. he's bummed.. after breaking his collar bone at the National finals in Durango. What to do? Call Bill. So.. after some sweet talking and a promise to discuss the possibility at our 2nd. annual Mt. Bike Weekend in Breckenridge we figured: we had him. 1512Four days of fun and hard riding. Day 1, easy 2 hour ride on some of the "flatter" sections of the Colorado trail. (really, there are no hills Joe!) Day 2: Monarch Crest trail, classic ride starts at 11,something and finishes at 7, something (all downhill, sure).1512Day 3: Easy day of downhilling and lift service at Breck. again all down hill and easy rest day (right!)1512Day 4: Rain, 35 degrees 11,400. Colorado trail from Kenosha pass to Breck. Carlee and Neena went half way (smart) Alex flatted and Joe, Andrew and Diane took the wrong trail. Conclusion: Bill, Alex and Lance made it to Breck. Carlee had to get off the couch and leave her hot toddie to pick Diane, Andrew and Joe up on the road, or should I say pick Di up while "riding" on the road,and Andrew and Joe "sitting" on the side of the road. It was shortly after that we decided to do the 5 person and ride with Di. 1512Thus.... I hope they didn't miss the trail was born!
