Diagnosed with cancer February 2004.  Underwent chemotherapy March-May.   Back on the bike and riding hard all summer:  Creampuff, Brianhead Epic 100, and Endurance100.
 
Last weekend looked a full-grown mountain lion in the face on my training ride to Park City and Back the long way.

He looked at me, smiled, and dissappeared into the beautiful fall forest and I continued on through brillant yellow Aspens - good omen!!!!
