La Plata Grande...Nice!

HUGE props to Wiens for stickin' it to the pro roadies. I bet Lance is PISSED!

For the record.....I just had my second dinner for the evening. And I polished off a local six-pack and three extremely large cookies.

I love bike racing.

Plus, if I can finish Leadville...it ain't that hard.
It really depends on who you are.....if altitude is tough for you.... Leadville is really, really hard. Maybe impossible!

On the other hand.....if you deal well with altitude I think Leadville is actually one of the easier 100 milers(definitely easier than the puff or breck)

Props Brian....good Job.
And what about Manny.......3rd!
"Manuel Prado of Lake Forest, California, was third about a 35 minutes behind Wiens"

I would say SoCal got rep'd big time

Here's a fun game for you......try to find me in the above video.

Hint: I was the only person at the race wearing an argyle jersey.

That ought to keep you guys busy for a while!

At the :17 second mark. Nice shot of you riding away from the camera. I had to look twice.
