Oh,that RAAM event in June that I should have blogged about?

 

Lots of things happened in June.  RAAM’s RAW attempt. (oof. that hurt)  Crew was great though. Great friends, Donna and Brett Weiser, and John Kinnicutt, flew from the east coast to Denver to pick up “the van”, which is quite a beast, but a godsend donated from Colorado Car Rentals (one of sponsors) to use for the whole race…and the whole summer!  They drove all the way out to Oceanside, CA with all my gear, while I took the easy way and flew out a couple days after them.  Race starts.  Lets just say “ouch” to that brutal desert heat.  Lesson learned.  Deep freeze all body parts to stay cool while riding. However, with all ultra racing it is a learning experience of what works. And what doesn’t.  So with the race ending before it should have, we figured that we had a day or two to spend in Taos before making the drive back to Denver for Donna, Brett and John to catch flights..Scott joined us in Taos to take the “jenn hand off” from my doting crew and we had some fish tacos. (hey, donna…scott and I joke about that whenever we are somewhere that has fish tacos:)
