Just a couple weeks away, are you all ready for a fun week? I'm planning to come down on Saturday with a few stops along the way, then take in the Britt Festival on Saturday night, Gov't Mule should be fun!

I'll be there, at the start and the end since I live just blocks away from the park. I cant ride though, but hopefully I will have pictures starting tomorrow.

Shifty and 2thGrinder have a great ride!
I still remember that pie and the awesome ride.
I keep promising myself to do it again someday.

My wife and I have done 4, 14, 15, and 16. We'll probably sign up for 24 just to keep the series going.

At least you weren't the guy who died...
Did they ever say who it was or where he was from?

On the drive home I got off of I-5 to get a few things to bring home from Heaven On Earth (yes, the incredible rest stop). I LOL when I pulled into the parking lot and it was jam full of cars of CO riders, and inside was a mess with happy riders with all sorts of goodies!!!!
Heaven On Earth = Teh greatest cycling goodie foods ever!! :-)
Skip, no word on the guy, it may come out after a few days, pretty sad, but it happens.

This is the obituary on the fellow who passed away during CO this year.

Sad, must be very hard on his family and friends.
