Turns out the Rocky's really are pretty rocky
Saturday came the Breck 100 that I signed up for. A combination of uncomfortable full supsension bikes, a lack of oxygen, and my own candyassedness and the race became, for me, the Breck 29. Well at least I looked good rockin the Yazoo Wool and the 12" Swiftwicks...I even got a shout out from the eventual winner Josh Tostado after he recognized the Yazoo Wool... Kicks signed up for the 32 mile version and rocked it!!! He turned in a great time and as I will hear for a

Sunday we managed to climb a 14er. Mount Quandary was only several miles from our condo and promised some great climbing (over 3000 ft in less than 3 miles), great vistas, and cool mountain temps. We scaled it in just over 2.5 hours with Ms. Kicks leading the charge to the top. We enjoyed the view for about 45 minutes and began the climb down. In case you were wondering, climbing down is just as hard or even harder than climbing up. We even managed to see two mountain goats at the top.

Well, I couldn't ride up the mountain but at least I could hike it!!
Headin' back down
Monday came quickly, and we headed to Buena Vista (One of Outdoor Magaizines top 10 ourdoorsy cities (or so our rafting guide told us)) to face some category 4 whitewater. Unfortunately, you have to take the guided tour. We all had a blast, looking good in our wetsuits, but we all felt we could have navigated ourselves without facing too much peril. We then went on a little driving tour of Colorado and passed through Leadville on our way back to Breck. Odd little town but it was neat to be in the highest city in the US, and I'm pretty sure we witnessed some mutants hanging out at the Kum and Go...

Looks like Xtanker beat you even with a broken arm! Wow, that picture looks odd.
Looks like you guys had a great time and really packed in the activities!! Sorry the race wasn't what you hoped. It looks like you enjoyed yourself though.
