Looks like a great ride, but the helmet hair doesn’t quite compare to my hubby’s.

Hey, I’ve been reading your blog all this time and I had no idea you were from here! (I live a few blocks from FMHS).

Hate to say it, but that close up portrait shot reminds me of Zoolander.

i just had an argument with a friend [non-cyclist] that biking is foreplay and licking a sweaty saddle is the best way to clean it.

I live nowhere near Colorado, but it sounds like this is one ride I need to add to my wish list.

I was through that area this weekend – but the final destination was Moab for my first ever Century with Team in Training. We raised $350,000, by the way!! And it was a heckuva ride. I would love to ride the Monument some day – my fiance lived in GJ for a few years and likes that ride too.

Wow, GO GLAD you posted this blog!! I am relocating to Grand Junction from SLC in 3 weeks, and had resigned to spending most of my time on my mountain bike rather than a roadie. SO happy to see such a world class road ride right out of my neighborhood!!!!!!
Fantastic pics too. So cool…made my day Fatty!

1. Two enormous, marginally iconic monoliths in one picture is one enormous, marginally iconic monotlith too many

2. Are you flexing your jaw muscles and pooching your lips (blue steel-like)in the self-taken photo, kind of like you flex your shorty legs when you photograph them? It looks practiced, i.e. in front of the mirror at home. Are you really that needy?

3. Nice scenery. It looks like a great ride.

The Colorado National Monument is one of the best road rides in the Western USA… if not anywhere. It’s not that far from SLC, but just far enough to be out of mind. Seeing your pictures is taking me back. Awesome… simply awesome!
