Bold And Gracious Celebrity Ride

People, my fine, fine people. This has truly been like a vacation with the stars. First, mere coincidence puts me on the same mountain as the Kahuna. And if I sound a little like Bold this evening, it is because I had an epic celebrity ride with a most gracious and excellent triblogger. Yah. I'll tell yah abooot it.



Bolder from Boulder made the trek to the Greyhounds' summer spread on top of the world in Breck--that's Breckenridge to the unwashed SLP masses back in sweaty Texas. (Don't get the wrong idea. We only rent a place for bit.) Not only was he cool enough to make quite a trek up from Boulder, he was completely gracious and never once complained on our ride about my SLP pace and inability to slip the gravitational pull of earth on our epic climbs.

I seriously doubt that Bold ever exceeded a comfortable zone 2, while my own heart rate was well into the redline, especially on the climbs. I may or may not have requested a pink Vespa once or twice. Prince to the core, Bold merely entertained and enjoyed a beautiful day in the mountains.

We did the only climb on the Triple Bypass that Bold had not yet accomplished. We screamed down from Breck to Frisco, hung a left, climbed to Copper Mountain, and then really started to work. It was well rewarded. A view like this is 10 times as special if you work for it.



Next summer, it is Triple Bypass time for the lot of us. Come on Kahuna. Come correct. You do it too. (And get that picture of the dude off your sidebar.) To the extent we have you, Kahuna, to thank for this triblogger phenomenon, a huge round of thank yous from me. Does it get any better? Not only do we all have a great sport in common, the values and the attributes that bring us to this sport connect us with people all over the country. And they call this an individual sport???? Not in my experience.
