Epic speeds with Coco

Hello!!  This is Kami and Jess. We are currently sitting in the computer room of the lovely Cotopaxi High school. Yesterday was our support day and we had the pleasure of supporting our riders as they rode from Montrose, CO to Gunnison, CO. The weather was fairly nice with some sun and a tail wind that propelled the riders up the big climbs and down the steep descents.  In fact, our first group passed the lunch stop before Jess and I could catch them!!  After some quick maneuvering by Jess, we slid into an even nicer lunch spot and enjoyed the delicacies of bologna and turkey.  Our portion rider, Scott Elkin from Telluride, joined us for the first half of the day and hit epic speeds going down the last descent. We will definitely miss him and his dog, Coco. The rest of the ride was fairly uneventful and we pulled into the Western State University in Gunnison, CO around 3:00 pm. The accommodations were a nice change, as we had private showers and mattresses to sleep on. We wandered around the tiny downtown, popped into a couple bike shops, and enjoyed dinner at the local brewery.  When we returned back to the dorm rooms, a group of us were able to enjoy a free style rap battle; good times were had by all.  Overall it was a pretty smooth, easy day!!  Lucky for us because the trek up to Monarch Pass loomed ahead the next day..... But more on that later!! :) 

P.S.  We hope you enjoyed the picture of Clara at the top of our blog flashin' some signs in honor of the free style rap battle!!
