The race pales to the incredible relationship you express in these reports. Lucky man. A beautiful love story wrapped in a bike story.

It made me think back on (and go back and read some old posts) the journey you've had the last 10 years (yes, I've read the whole blog and followed you for years now. Sorta creepy when you say it like that.). How biking and family and work have ebbed and flowed with tragedy and joy mixed in along the way. I bet not too many years ago it would have been difficult to imagine ever feeling as much joy as you seem to have felt at this year's Leadville. It gives me hope that notwithstanding my own setbacks, life will come back around to give me my fair share of joy. Enjoy it; it's great to see it. I agree that this was a great race write-up.
