“Thousand Mile Buckle” for finishing the race ten times - Bruce Kelly

With the best support crew, his wife Stacy/his better half - congrats to both of you for completing this amazing goal!

Just think of all the time and money involved in the entry fees, bicycles, equipment, training (say 10 years averaging 5,000 miles a year and the race would be at least 51,000 miles!), sport drinks consumed, GU's, Pay Day's, Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwhiches!

This being the 10th year for Bruce I wonder if it was the hardest?

We all Love You Bruce!

2009 Posse - Father's Day Ride

After a brief rain delay we rolled out of the Minturn Ranger Station at 8:30 am with about 18 riders. Damp roads to start with but by the time we got to the top of Tennessee Pass the roads were dry and the clouds were breaking up. The Ridler family had a wonderful spread for us waiting at the entrance to Ski Cooper. We all fueled up and continued on passing our normal stop in Leadville to instead stop again on top of Freemont Pass. The enclosed photo is the posse on top of Freemont before we continued on to finish the ride with one smaller stop on top of Vail Pass.

Thanks again to Michelle, Sheryl and the kids for the top notch support all day!

Thanks to all who came out and made this a great annual ride once again!
