Welcome Back Rolf!

Rolf will do just fine being back at altitude. He finished 2nd at NBP, riding in a two man break with Phil Zajicek. The race started with 80 guys and some 30 odd finished with dudes popping off the back every lap.

Brian Hutchison and I opted for a longer ride in the hills instead of flogging ourselves at NBP. Matt Edwards started out with us but turned around when Brian pushed him into the ditch.



We had a great ride through Golden Gate Canyon Park until the thunder storms forced us to hide in the park pit toilet.



We re-emerged and continued along Peak to Peak, only to get stuck in Rollinsville. I'm not sure what I am looking at in these clouds here, but it doesn't look good.



Fortunately cell phones are the wave of the future, everybody seems to have them so we were able to call in the rescue to Keely and Jessica who were nice enough to drive up to the middle of nowhere to get us.

We still got in 3+ hours, but it would have been nice to be able to enjoy a hippy muffin in Nederland or the descent into Boulder.
