On New Year's Day, I fought through the fog long enough to lay my credit card down and procure a spot for the 2009 Triple Bypass. What is the Triple Bypass you may be asking? It is one of Colorado's premier bicycle events that opens its doors for 3500 riders each year. This year it filled all the spots by Janurary 2nd. On July 11th, I'll be lining up at the starting line in Bergen Park with good friends: Greek, Nick, and Jim for a ride through the Rockies. I'm estimating it will take me twelve hours to reach the finish line 120 miles away in Avon (West of Vail).
Training the last three months has been a lot of work but even more fun. If my scale could talk, it would tell you that when training began in April an all time high number was recorded (shut up stupid scale). Since then it has been all over the map but at this point down ten pounds. Besides getting healthier, training has taken me all over the front range and shown it in a new light. For some reason, the mountains of Colorado look more amazing from the saddle of a bike and I have the photos (with my new non-beer-saturated camera) to prove it. To promise they will be posted would be a little crazy considering how much I have neglected the site this year but you never know.
