Live strong ride/ Tri peaks stage 1
We did a Live Strong ride yesterday over 200 people showed up so it was fricken awesome. We also stopped by the children's hospital and handed out wristbands and chatted with people it was a good time.
This morning was the first stage of Tri-Peaks a 60 mile road stage with a 10 mile climb with a 2500 foot elevation gain to finish it off. Myself, Richard, and Kirk. Followed all the moves in the first hour. Until a break of 10 riders with all the big GC hopes from Jelly Belly, Toyota United, and Health net in it. Our Gc rider Aaron Tuckerman got in on that. They we're pretty much gone right away. A small chase was organized by Rock Racing but we never saw the front group again. The last climb was a decent one so it made a selection out of the main bunch out of the 140 in the main bunch it was down to 40 or 50 by the finish. I just rolled in the middle of the bunch. I want to stay in the front bunch tommarow 100 miles and over 10k feet of elevation gain.
O yeah I forgot to mention Aaron took it to the house today and left Toyota United Jelly belly Health Net behind at the 5k to go sign and soloed in for the Win.

awesome job kiddio, you guys are one hell of a team! Make sure you look at the roads in stage 2. The staff from the Children's hospital are out tagging the roads with words of encouragement for all the orange boys.
Also I told both Aaron and Dave to make sure you ALL are drinking the Emergency C drink. Can't afford for all you guys to get sick. Dan and I both came down with the same thing Brad has. Even if you don't feel sick, just make sure you drink some.
Good luck tomorrow.
