This past weekend was huge. First on Saterday Lee, Andy, Caleb and me started out for Ouray, CO. We started out at 8 am. It was really cold at 8. All was going well untill we summited Coal Bank. Caleb flipped it there and the word is he hitch hiked back to Durango. So onward we went into Silverton. Man that was the coldest I've been in a long time. It took us about 10 minutes to finaly warm up and off we went starting up Red Mountain. Guptill decided that he would only go to the top of Red Mountain and then head back to Durango. So that left me and Lee to drop down into Ouray. I thought the drop would be quick, but it wasn't. First of all its close to an 11 mile drop and on the way down LeeRo flatted. Made it to town, got a scone and then headed back home. Man that was a long ride. Guptill did it yesterday by himself and said it is 146 miles. Not bad for going over 3 different 11,000 feet passes.

Then on Sunday, the Unit 5 crew went up to Animas Mountain and did the trail run race. 6.6 miles. Up to the top and then back down. I'm still feeling it in the legs. Kelly hurt her foot, hopefully it isn't broken. The doc says it might be a stress fracture, but can't really tell until she runs on it again. Anyway, that's all for now.
