OLE'S BIG GAME STEAKHOUSE

Tour De Guyot

This was a 6 hour epic ride going over two high passes, French Pass (see the snow) and

Georgia Pass, and a long descent on the Colorado Trail.  Some hike-a-bike and a several

stream crossings.  Fortunately we had perfect weathers.  The pics are of Mike.

Hagerman Pass

Rode up Hagerman Pass with Mike and Sam (who is out to do the Leadville 100 for the 10th time!)  About 2500 feet of climbing with some pretty rocky and steep sections.  After doing

the descent, I had a flat--the Michelin Mud had a nasty sidewall cut.  I had to be rescued by Mike

since I didn't think I could fix it with a tube.  The Lefty Fork worked well with 160 pounds pressure, about 40 more than is recommended.  (The Fork had lost all it's air in the previous ride.)  I've decided that the Michelins have weak sidewalls.  Comments anyone?

BRECKENRIDGE

No pics yet, but I'm out in Breck staying at the same condo we stayed at last year, rented by my

friend Mike O'Brien.  He doesn't blog, or doesn't even know what blogging is, but now I'm getting

him started (well maybe).  Rode up Vail Pass yesterday and back--about 45 miles on bike paths

with lots of bikers.  Coming back down I was over 30 mph a couple of times, but there were too

many people to go really fast.  Tomorrow it's mt. biking on the Soda Creek trail, which I have

done many times.  It is a very nice trail, takes 2 or 3 hours.  Sammy is out to do the Leadville

100 and I'm hoping to hook up with him this week.
