I'm Not Dead Yet!

As an avid and quite sociable cyclist, I think the end of July is the worst part of the year. Why? Because everyone thinks the schedule of rides is getting thin and TOO MANY OF MY FRIENDS ARE COMPLAINING OF BURNOUT!

People -- it's July!!!! We still have thousands of miles to ride before we sleep (and begin to pack on the poundage.)

Remember way back in February or March when I posted the schedule of rides for this season? Well, here it is again, beginning with August 1st...

Sat., August 15 -- Leadville Trail 100
Sat., August 22 -- Colorado's Tour de Cure

If anyone wants to invent/include a couple more rides, please post them in comments here or create a new ride in the New Rides thread, and I'll update this schedule as needed.

September and October are two of the very best months of the year to ride your bike in Colorado! Don't give up on this season just yet! WE ALL NEED MORE (S)MILES!
