For Sale: 2003 Quintana Roo Tequilo 57cm

If you or some one you know is looking for a fast, kick ass tri bike I have one for sale. Please forward if you know someone who might be interested. I am also willing to trade for a 29er Mountain Bike.

I bought this bike for around $2000 back in 2004 and have only rode about 1800 miles on it. It has been sitting the garage for the past 4 years unused and now it is time to get rid of it to make room for new toys. There are some minor scratches on the paint from moving but that is it. Never been laid down or crashed. BEST OFFER that is fair takes it. I am also willing to trade for a 29er Mountain Bike. Info on the bike is below, the photo above is from the web and is the same paint job as the bike for sale. I am also going to leave the Catseye cycling computer on it also. Let me know if you have any other questions. I am located in Broomfield/Westminster and willing to meet up with you so you can see the bike.

Longs Peak 9-8-12

A couple of weeks ago I was able to get out for a day with Rob and Bob to play around on Longs for a while.  This is one of my favorite hike/climbs within an hour or so of my house.  It has a little bit of everything.   Here are some photos from our run/hike.  I think these are some of the best photos that have been taken on one of my many climbs of this awesome mountain.

New sign?? I don't recall ever seeing this before this year.

F'ed it up- Quick Leadville Report

I have been sitting here pondering what to write and say for the past couple of weeks since trying my hand at Leadville again and I have nothing.  I just plain ass FUCKED it up in the days leading up to the race and don't feel like typing out all the details.  Without going into the details I basically let a situation that I don't want to share right now effect the sleep I was getting in the 2 days leading up to the race.  By the time race morning rolled around I had only 8ish hours of sleep in the 48 hours leading up to the race.  I was able to keep pace through mile 60 but by the time it started getting dark outside I was falling asleep standing/walking.  I just could not keep my eyes open!  Nothing worked and I ended up being timed out at Mayqueen mile 87.  This really sucked, I was in the best shape I have ever been and blew my shot.   I want to thank my wife of course for her awesome support along with Fred Ecks, Eric Lee, and Neal Palles for their help in crewing and pacing.

Right now as I write this I am not sure if I will be doing much racing anymore.   Just getting kind of tired of training plans, ect.  I still am going to run a lot just may not race much.  I keep having thoughts of finishing the 14ers and starting to get ready for my dream mountain climb which I am not ready to share about yet.  That just may become my focus over the next 1-2 years which will be great, it is where I was before I got into ultras and would love to get back to that spot.

Here are some photos from the race.  Enjoy.
