weekend

Another killer weekend looming. Katie and I are taking off right after work for the Halfmoon campground near Leadville. Stopping at Eddyline Brewing on the way, of course.

Friday morning it's an early start to bag Mt. Massive, at 14,421 feet above sea level it's the second tallest peak in Colorado. After that we're gonna relax with a round of golf at the Mt. Massive golf course, North America's highest golf course. Neither Katie nor I have ever golfed before, and I reckon that neither of us ever will again, but it seems like a cool thing to do.

We'll do supper at one of the fine and fancy establishments in Leadville. The rest of Friday evening will be spent drinking around a huge campfire, thanks to stealing a ton of wood from the Sand Dunes campout!

Saturday morning it's the Leadville 5K. I almost won this last year with a blazing 19:55. Very low key event with a lot of Hardrockers who are staying at the Leadville hostel to get used to the altitude. It's a good time, cheap, and the door prizes rock.

Probably do lunch at Rosie's, America's highest brewpub, before heading over to Red Rocks for the annual July 4th Blues Traveler show! Woohoo! Comedian Lewis Black is opening, should be interesting.

Sunday morning is the Summer Roundup 12K at Bear Creek Park. Last year I got so drunk on Saturday night I missed the race! I can't do that this year though, or they'll pull my rego to the Pikes Peak Marathon. Don't expect a blazing performance, as this race is less than a week before Hardrock.

Sunday afternoon a bunch of us are headed up to the Denver Red Dress Run, always a blast. Plus, we're hitting the Cherry Cricket first, second best burgers in Colorado!

All that and, of course, ending the weekend at the acid jazz jam at the Mariner.

Good times!
