A group of us went down to the 12 Hours of Mesa Verde this weekend. We left Thursday evening, so we would not be rushed Friday morning to get down, pre-ride and pick up packets. It turns out that this was a good idea since Heather, Dorothy and I all needed to have our bikes looked at. I lost my front brake again for the 5th time, Heather had to have her shifter adjusted, and Dorothy need to have her brake fixed.
We went to Kopelli Bike & Board. These guys were terrific, so friendly and helpful. They were willing to let me borrow a front brake just so I could race if mine kept collasping.

After getting bikes ready we went out to the course for a pre-ride. We had so much fun on this course. This course has everything, small climbs, technical parts, whoopdedoos, twisty turns, jumps and just lots of fun. I was laughing and giggling so much. I have never been on a race course that was so much fun. The pre-ride was so much fun I could hardly wait to race on the course.

I had a jersey on that was too big. It was so weighted down it went past my bum.I guess you could say I had a lot of junk in my trunk.
Group photo, you can't tell, but the view is beautiful.
