After a few days of craziness in Vegas, I headed straight to CB (Crested Butte) to meet up with Troy and Stella that were already there for a day. On a little side note, I would sooooooo much rather be in CB then in Vegas, much more my pace. Anyways, I missed the first training day of SG but I was there just in time to catch all the real action. It's been about 18 years since I made my way over to the Butte and the last time I was there was for Sax's wedding! Eeeek.
I raced the Dan Prater Memorial about 22 years ago and it was just as exciting watching as a parent as it was being a kid at the race. I have some awesome memories from then and now!
Could Crested Butte be more beautiful!
