Slideshow and Rallying for bike entertainment!

The Petit in dreamy July Conditions!
Craig is amazing!!!  Aside from biking 5 bazillion miles across two countries, through tornados, and still finding time to enjoy a beer....he has put together a slideshow for this Thursday night.
He will arrive in Estes Park, Colorado sometime late Wed. or early Thurs. and give a slideshow about his journey at Ed's Cantina in Estes Park!

I am excited to show Craig around town and hopefully have an adventure in the mountains (although they are still quite buried in snow this year).  Climbing the Diamond is most certainly out, but I was hoping the Petit or something south facing would be ready....that still might be a stretch!!!

Diamond June-ish
Apres slideshow, Craig will hang for a day or two in Estes.  I will drive him back to his bike in La Junta where he will proceed to pedal north through Colorado.  It is my hope to rally some people to join him in Colorado, even for a few spurts of miles.
Colorado Springs people would be Tuesday-ish (24th), Denver area Tuesday/Wednesday
Wednesday/Thursday/Friday for Fort Collins area --- give or take.  (He seems to average 65-100 depending on winds)
I am pretty sure he will be on roads 285/87/287
I will find out more details on his route, post and rally again!  Keep it in mind if you are in the front range and want to join him for a few miles....or 50 (nudge ...Harry).

I am sure a warm bed along the route would be an added bonus if anyone is willing!

Ah, SUMMER needs to arrive!!!!
