Ok, here is the scoop... I rode with my wife (actually, I waited at each food stop for her), it started to get kind of late so after we rode down Vail Pass we encountered a lot of head wind - Lilia is very new to cycling and she is not completely comfortable drafting... I was getting a little cranky and I suggested joining in a line-up of about 15 riders. Once we joined the line-up the miles started to zip on by. Anyway, just after West Vail there is a tunnel - inside the tunnel the guy infront of me was playing with his computer and swerved into the side gutter then back in front of me where he fell. I could not stop and hit him - flying on past him and landing on a rock... OUCH! anyway, the last miles were very painful and it was hard to pedal. I just thought about the beer at the finish and I definitely wanted to beat the rain (which we did). Anyway, I didn't have any cash. On a positive note, my friend drove our car to Avon and it was there waiting. Lilia drove home. I slept. On Monday I could barely walk to Einstein's bagel shop down the street... By the weekend we were traversing Crestone Peak and Needle. I'm such a tough guy... But Lilia (devotchkatata on BT) is much tougher!!!

OK... what's the scoop on that ride... the name sounds burly!
