Pb 100 Here I Come

Morning,

JUST got into Leadville yesterday, so scrambling to make plans for logistics.  I
have a lot of friends around that area, so I’m planning on pulling in a few
favors for a floor to sleep on.

This weekend was local riding…Frog Lake in the Whiteclouds which was
INCREDIBLE backcountry riding.  Did a few hard efforts on the 3000 foot
climb as Leadville prep. Even had a relaxing soak in the hot springs afterwards!

Saturday went out on a local ride by myself and got cornered and attacked by two great pyrenees sheep guard dogs.  They fully attacked me, bit me and broke the skin.  I had to put my Specialized 29er in front of me for protection and slink away from them as they were trying to bite me.  It was terrifying and I just spent an hour in the Forest Service office reporting the issue and finding out more about the rules for the land grazing permits out here.  Turns out they are NOT supposed to be on trails and a warning will be issued to those herders.

Short track races “Dog Days at Dollar” start this Wednesday and I’m helping to promote and organize those.  This is significant because it’s the first time Sun Valley company has supported new trail building and hosting summer bike events on their property in about a million years!  There are a bunch of fun bermed trails on Dollar now and hopefully this is the start of some great new mountain bike development at Sun Valley!  The races will raise
money for two local pump tracks being built in Ketchum and Hailey.  If you’re in the area, come out and support the event and show Sun Valley how many cyclists are here chomping at the bit for new trails!  You could even win a new Specialized P1 bike from the Elephant’s Perch for the new pump track!! Talk to you soon after we get comfortable here in CO.

Cheers

Reba
