I posted a few of my best photos from the Assault on the Peak a few days ago. Now I’ve uploaded over 200 photos broken up into 2 albums. The first album is from the start to Crystal Reservoir and the 2nd one is from above Crystal Reservoir. Those albums are now also linked from my original Assault on the Peak photo page.
The features of an innovative day-pack in The North Face lineup are attractive, especially to greenies – wool body fabric, 100-percent recycled polyester webbing, mesh, foams and pack fabric panels and recycled plastic buckles.
And then there’s this, listed under features on The North Face web site: “Good karma.”
The pack, called the Tree Hugger, is a truly eco-friendly concoction.
It joins other green products from TNF, including the Blue Kazoo, a 15-degree F down mummy bag made from 100 percent recycled fabrics.

Tonight I’ll be at the Colorado Springs Cruisers bike ride at McCabe’s Tavern. I’ll have UltraRob.com stickers, t-shirts and jerseys. Stickers are free and I will be giving a couple t-shirts away. Ok, I don’t have a cruiser bike so I’ll be riding my mountain bike so bring any bike you have.
Plus there’ll be $3 Pints of New Belgium Brewing beers and another fun group of people to socialize and ride with. The ride is short and at a slow pace so if you can ride a bike, you can do the ride. See you there!
I’ve ridden a couple times this summer. People start showing up after 5:00 and socialize and then the ride starts around 6:00. Hang out afterward and have some dinner and/or a beer.

Although the Assault on the Peak was a bike ride instead of an actual race, they timed the riders at the toll gate, Glen Cove and the summit. Even if there wasn’t timing, I have no doubt some would have ridden it as a race for bragging rights. Leroy Popowski won the bragging rights for the next year of being the fastest up Pikes Peak with just his own power since 2 guys on electric assist bikes beat him to the top.

Yesterday was the 1st Annual Assault on the Peak. It was 24.5 miles with 7800 vertical feet of climbing up Pikes Peak. I’ll do a write up on it in the next couple days but for now, here are some photos. If you want to see more photos, I have larger albums of the ride up to Crystal Reservoir and of the ride above Crystal Reservoir.
See Assault on the Peak ride times here.

The Sunday after the Leadville 100, my wife and I drove over Independence Pass to see the Grottos along the Roaring Fork. I’ve long known about the Grottos and been over Independence Pass many times but never stopped to explore.
There are 3 main trails in the area. One stays on the highway side and is wheelchair accessible. The other 2 are on the other side of the Roaring Fork. The longest is Old Stage Road and goes up to Lincoln Creek. The trail to the cool Grottos area takes off from the Old Stage Road after a few hundred yards and looked more like a social trail at the junction.
The Grottos area is less than a half mile from the parking lot. There’s the Ice Cave that is a slot carved into the granite from an old stream channel. There wasn’t any ice in it when we were there but I’d guess ice could stay in it through early summer. There are also waterfalls on the Roaring Fork with a maze of trails for exploring.

People debate about what is the toughest bike race. Is it the Race Across America for it’s sleep deprivation? Or is it the Tour de France because of the speeds? Or is it the 2,711 mile mountain bike race, Tour Divide, along the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains. The Tour Divide certainly is a serious contender for toughest bike race and as far as I know there’s no other mountain bike race that comes close.
Ride The Divide movie is an award-winning feature-length documentary that gives a glimpse into just how tough the Tour Divide really is. The movie was shot of the 2008 Tour Divide and was named the Best Adventure Film at this year’s Vail Film Festival. The movie is available on DVD or Blu-Ray.
Ride the Divide is being shown at select theaters around the country. Here in Colorado Springs we get our chance to see it on the big screen on Wednesday, September 15, at the Stargazers Theatre. It will be shown at 7:30 p.m. at the Stargazers Theatre located off Pikes Peak Avenue. Tickets are available in advance by calling Stargazers at 476-2200, at the box office most evenings and online. Tickets will also be available at the door while they last. Admission is $10.
Ride The Divide embraces the inspiring stories of three of the racers who experience the immense mountain beauty and small-town culture as they attempt to pedal from Banff, Canada, to a small, dusty crossing on the Mexican border. There’s Mike, a 40-year-old family man who uses this challenge to chart a new course in life; Matthew, a leader in extreme endurance racing who’s competing for his fifth time; and Mary, the first female rider to race this route. As they set out, they will attempt to accomplish what very few have been able to. Over the course of a few weeks, they’ll attempt to climb over 200,000 vertical feet along the backbone of the Rocky Mountains.
They’ll experience mental breakdowns, treacherous snow, hellacious blisters, and total fatigue. Above all, they’ll race with no support – at times in total isolation. The tests of endurance and the accomplished moments throughout Ride the Divide prompt us to reflect on our inner desires to live life to the fullest.

It’s one of the most crowded trails in Colorado, but it’s crowded because it also has one of the best payoffs at the end. Hanging Lake is an emerald green oasis fed by a waterfall in Glenwood Canyon. But all that use has taken its toll, and the U.S. Forest Service closed the trail in May for a $1 million repair project. Hanging Lake is the most popular hiking trail in the White River National Forest. Its boardwalk, dating back to the early 1900s, needed to be replaced.
Now that it’s open again, we suggest you visit it during the week, or at least wait until the tourists have gone home this fall. To get there, you have to be traveling eastbound on I-70. From Denver, you have to pass Hanging Lake, take the Grizzly Creek exit and reenter the highway eastbound to the Hanging Lake exit. Check it out at video of the hike here.

Update: I’ve posted Pikes Peak Assault photos.
The inaugural Assault on the Peak is this coming Sunday, August 29th. It’s a bike ride up the Pikes Peak highway. There have been some changes since I wrote about the ride in April.
Now instead of starting at the Pikes Peak highway toll gate in Cascade, the ride is going to start down in Manitou Springs at Memorial Park. This makes the ride 24.5 miles with over 7700 feet of climbing followed by descending that much!
Even though the ride has been lengthened, the price has been reduced. Instead of the originally announced price of $180, it is now $150. They’ve also added an option of riding to Glen Cove for $90.
The deadline to register online through BikeReg is Wednesday. You will also be able to register from 5:30 – 6:30 AM the morning of the ride.
Also along with the Pikes Peak ride, Peak Region is having a Bicycle Festival at the start/finish area. The bike Festival will start at 10 AM and run until 4 PM. The expo will be free with bike shops, frame builders, cycling apparel, etc.

Earlier this week a bagel was listed on eBay as being Dave Wiens’ bagel from the Leadville 100. He dropped it on the course and a fan picked it up. It’s a simple mini-bagel with PB&J made by his Olympic bronze medalist wife, Susan DeMattei.
It seemed like someone just being goofy but all the money from the auction is to go to the non-profit Gunnison Trails. As the week has gone on, it’s turned into something much bigger. Now Dave Wiens is giving the winner of the auction one of his big Leadville 100 belt buckles. Oakley has also stepped up and is throwing in a pair of Livestrong Radar Path Glasses.
Dave Wiens has confirmed all of this on his twitter account. There isn’t much time left on the eBay auction and it ends tomorrow morning, Sunday August 22nd, at 08:03 AM PDT.
