Unless you've been living out in the woods for a few months (and I don't doubt some of you might have...) you've heard about the USA Pro Cycling Challenge. Dubbed as "America's Race" it is quickly becoming a very popular summer attraction in Colorado. What I found out is that even though I wasn't the biggest cycling fan in the world a few years ago, I quickly became interested and intrigued in cycling because of this race.
Here's the basics you need to know for the start of tomorrow's race.

Today's hike was a short but sweet hike along Columbine Trail in North Cheyenne Cañon. A few of the things we saw along the trail today were acorns, berries a creek and signs of wildlife! When we got to a good resting spot, Yeti talked about Leave No Trace. LNT principles are:

We were busy with back to back gear company appointments at the Outdoor Retailer in Salt Lake City, UT, and professional cyclist Timmy Duggan was busy training at the Garden of the Gods, but we both somehow found a few minutes to talk over the phone and discuss his recent race in the Olympics as well as his upcoming races in both Utah and Colorado!

Innovation has no bounds here at the Outdoor Retailer. From tents utilizing magnets instead of zippers to amazingly light jackets and Down that is as close to being waterproof as synthetics I was constantly amazed by the direction that gear is heading. Trucking through the last few days it was made evident that companies are really strutting their stuff when it comes to keeping the innovation train a rollin.

After blasting through the first day of the "Big Show" my head is spinning from not only the whirlwind of lights, sounds, and motion but also from the myriad of new gear that caught my eye. While this is only a very, very small representation of what we learned about today, these were definitely products that stood out!

According to the USGS, record high death rates for Grizzly Bears have hit Yellowstone National Park this year. With the mortality rate currently at 16 we have already doubled the amount of deaths at this time in 2010. Which lead to a record tying rate of 48 total deaths.

Saturday was supposed to be a "bash" of a good time, but quickly turned into worry, fear and stress for many of us in Woodland Park and Ute Pass that day. Nothing has changed, those feelings still linger. As we prepared for our race, some folks that were helping us were receiving frantic calls from loved ones that live down the pass and wanted to evacuate. Other decided to have a beer and run 20 miles. Here's what the Waldo Canyon Fire day looked like for us.
