This one is for the Colorado front range locals and anyone from Boulder county who owns a Subaru that can make it past the county limits sign.
As part of events this Saturday at the Colorado Veldrijden Crusade, we will be holding the opening round of the Mike Janelle Frozen Turkey Time Trial (MJFTTT). What the hell is the MJFTTT you ask. Well please look here to get a video demonstration and the rules.
There is no required entry fee, but if you want to pay something for the honor of participating (hint, hint), all proceeds from this event will go to the Live Like Mike foundation (LiveLikeMike.org)
Mike Janelle was a truly bad-ass pro cyclist from the Vail area that specialized in endurance road (RAAM) and mountain bike racing. Sadly, in the prime of his life, he died in his sleep of heart failure. Mike left behind his loving wife Maribel and their newborn child, Mike Jr.
The purpose of livelikemike.org is simple ... To pick up financially where Mike left off. To give Maribel and little Mike the push start they need now and the help they will need later on.
Rumor has it this might get recorded on video and then show up on a website that is visited world wide so bring your "A" game.
As long as we're being graded on a curve, I'm bringing the 'A' game.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm challenging all of the Boulder community to make an effort to show up to an event that is not in their backyard because what's going on at Bear Creek Lake is not just about racing. Its also about helping out others in the cycling community. In short, it IS about community. Come out, enjoy a day at the races, and participate in a crazy event to give a little economical boost and a lot of love to the family of a fellow cyclist. What could be better that all that?
And if you leave early, I'm going to come over to your house and bother you.
