435 Miles Later…

New Quotes:

"Dying to ride- Dying to finish!" - The Hammer

Ride the Rockies 2008…been there done that!   Without a doubt, this was the hardest one yet, but also the most rewarding. Besides, if it was easy, everybody would do it. As always, it was a pleasure to ride with Uncle Doug, Johnnie Utah & Mama T. I also enjoyed getting to know Sherpa Matt & Pretty Boy (Ogden, Utah…Road Trip?!?) Mountain Hats off to the Coach and The Princess for putting up with me all week (the cabin house sitting offer still stands). Of Course, I am really glad I had the opportunity to share this trip with the best Mom in the world and my super cool Big Sis. I won’t be defenestrating these memories any time soon! (Thanks again for backtracking from Leadville to Fairplay, crossing Hoosier Pass three times just to make sure I could make it to the finish). I have held my head high and seen the World only from standing on your shoulders.. I love you both!  Since this blog is getting hits from all over the Nation and even Tel Aviv, Israel here are some shout outs:  To Cubby-san, you were here in spirit my brother, to the Flash and the Rocket, fellow Cobra 39’s biking across the country as we speak, to MBBC Racing and the Bulge Crew…represent! To anybody who drives a car…..thanks for sharing the road!

Rock On,

The Hammer

The End!

Love the use of defenestrating in your blog! Way to go!

Congrats again! You and the Coach (as well as the other riders in RTR) are absolute studs! (Women included!)

Until next year...

What can be said that would accurately describe a new adventure! Thanks, bunches, for allowing me to tag along and see what you guys see from behind the handle bars. Coach and Hammer - you are a hoot!
Lisa, come to East Texas and I'll return the favor!
