The Bells

Letters and words are coming, I'm gonna go watch some racing right now.

Update: Headed up a classic Aspen area climb, Maroon Bells. It's a long climb, not the steepest at times, but it's a slog. A steep opening slope followed by a fast downhill starts things off. Then the road keeps climbing. And climbing. The scenery makes everything more than worth it. On the way up I was passed by a small group of riders all on team issue SuperSix Evos, in mostly team kit. Seeing as I was nowhere near the race finish, before the race had even started anyways, I found this a bit peculiar. One person I did recognize in the group was Tim Johnson, cyclocrosser extraordinaire. The group ended up being a tour that was sponsored by Cannondale (they got backstage access to the PRO team too). Tim Johnson ended up being a really, really nice and cool guy; super friendly and actually struck up a conversation with me. The view at the end of the climb makes it more than worth the trip up. Catch it in the right light, and the mountains do look purple.
