off to LEADVILLE...

Leadville 09

Dad,

And to think, you couldn't even walk just 9 months ago. And now you are going to race 100 miles on a mountain bike, at the highest elevation, climbing the gnarliest mountain you've ever seen.

...

So happy that you're back, hope we never have to see Mr. Piss again.

Good Luck Riley. We'll be there for your every turn, beef jerky in hand.
