Consistently inconsistent

I've avoided looking at my last post because I know it was a long time ago. Sorry folks. The Tour has been kicked up a notch now, and we're in the middle of an even busier stretch of events. We've just gotten back from the Ride the Rockies tour which spanned 400 miles of Colorado lovliness. The days were very long, pretty much lasting 14 hours and involved a lot of labor. We took turns riding the course (managing to avoid the long 91 mile day with a trip to Fruita), and then setting to work. There wasn't much sitting down, that's for sure!

We had a chance to let several women try out the bikes during RTR. We didn't have many of our own bikes left in the trailer by the end of each day. Because of the nature of the tour, if we lent out a bike, we'd have to shuttle the borrower's bike for them. Each day meant setting up, waiting for bikes to come back for cleaning, then packing it all in again to move on to the next day's start. We were pretty exhausted by the end of the night. It took a big effort to socialize, but the tour marked a rare occasion when one of our Ride the Best compariots was at the same event. Actually, there were two of them: Eric Smith, the Colorado/Texas demo guy, and Josh Borgmeyer the Southwest guy.

All in all, it was a great tour and we made some new friends. Hello's go out to Martin, Craig, and our pals Chris and Nick from Sports Garage in Boulder. We're back in Boulder now and getting a few days of much needed R&R. Between the two of us, we have several friends here so we've had a chance to do some catching up with people we haven't seen for a while.

It's off to Wisconsin after the holiday weekend for a visit to the Mother Ship, as well as another Danskin event. We'll be back in Colorado again after that. If you are in the Denver area, be sure to look us up and come say hi!
