The Weekend

This weekend started out with the prospect of the classic Koppenberg race on Sunday. So Saturday was spent prepping, getting a preride of the course in, including the short yet steep climb. For those who are not familiar with the race its a 5.5 circuit, 8 laps, 50% dirt, with the famous dirt climb.
To say that it was windy during the Saturday ride would lack the true description of how bad it was, but it was windy and the mountains showed something building up.
Sunday morning camp with the readiness to race in cold and wet dirt but the call came that the race had been canceled and a look outside showed a layer of snow on the ground. Oh well, time to head to Denver then for dim sum. This means lots of little food with a lot of good friends. Doug tried the mystery meat, we knew it was some part of a pig, but it really could have been ANY part.


A small portion of the aftermath.



After the gorging there was an adventure into the Asian market, and I have to say I love this place. On the list of the things that you normally don't see in an American supermarket is the row of whole fish out in the open for picking.

Next in the day out in Denver we headed over to the Auto show. I was really looking forward to seeing the new Bullitt, but the line that wrapped around the convention center to just by a ticket to get in put a stop to that.
Good weekend, all it needed was a race, but time to get ready for the next one.
