As much as I've wanted to do the Western States 100 miler as my first hundred, there may be a change in plans. Rumor has it that in the fall of '07 there will finally be a Bandera 100 miler. I love it down in Bandera, and wouldn't mind making that my first shot at the century.
Been running very well lately. Between workouts with Team CRUD and the Incline Club, I've been working the hills and altitude really hard. Race season is coming up, should be fun. Next weekend Melissa, Pete, and I are doing the Zebulon Pike marathon. Dirt roads, 3800 feet of elevation gain, run out to the ghost town of Turret and turn around. The climbing doesn't seem too bad but Salida is at 8000 feet so the air should be pretty thin.
Also lookin' forward to the start of fourteener season. Was hoping that this recent warm weather would be melting all the ice and snow from the mountains, but it looks like we're gonna get hit with some shitty weather soon. Still, I'll probably summit Pikes fairly soon. Thinking of making an attempt at Long's Peak early next month. Also, once the weather is warmer, wanna take a weekend to do the Lincoln Group (Mts Lincoln, Cameron, Bross, and Democrat), four fourteeners you can knock out on a single hike.

The saddle between Democrat and Bross is at 13,000k easy...so once your conquer Democrat it's a piece of cake to hop to the top of Bross.Doing all 4 in one day though...is a lofty aspiration.Good Luck!
I still want to hit Greys and Elbert...Democrat will be closed off to the public soon as it's being deemed unsafe...or so the ranger told us last year.
Yeah, that would be rad.
machine!!!
