 | From Laramie to Salida
- Blue Sky
everywhere...
| Long (70+ mile) mountain bike treks through the
rolling hills of Laramie and the steep switchbacks of the Snowy Mountains.
Fast descents and steep climbs on the road in the rain around the town of
Salida. 20 minutes of complete pain right in downtown Boulder. Fun, easy
group rides to Jamestown. Crazy dirt road Cyclocross training adventures.
What is the common denominator between all those experiences?
Well, besides the facts that they are human-powered and involve only 2
wheels.... there is a Blue Sky Velo jersey (or multiple jerseys) in all of
them. The amazing thing is that accounts for just the last 7
days!
Check
out the results and stories below....
Please send your suggestions
and stories to me - this is how we're communicating with our sponsors and
keeping all of us in the 'know' about all the stuff that's going on with
our team. So forward this newsletter to your friends, family, prospective
team members .... or just have them sign up here: www.blueskyvelo.com
Now get out and ride - quite
reading this email - as you can see we've all got a lot of catching up to
do on our bikes in the next 7 days!
