Masters Nats - Road Race - United States Air Force Academy
 

Who's going to be there?

Not me.

I have a place in remodel stage you (plural) can camp in. I will buy beer for anyone coming. I have a car parked near the DEN airport. Let me know how I can help (couple weeks notice appreciated).

I have raced on a few great courses, and been to many more - this is a special place and special course.

Hard to find a UCI World Champion RR course you can do https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_U...%27s_road_race

You here:

Thanks for the kind offer. That's a bit too much of a trip for me, though.

Thanks for the offer Doge - very nice of you, but I'm not going. I'm pretty sure I raced that course (or some version of it) in 1984, as part of the Junior National Tour (previously called the Red Zinger Mini-Classic). I got creamed then, and would get creamed now.

I drive it often. I run it a few times a year (2019) and wife and I stay on the course.
I used to watch the Red Zinger / Coors Classic (1980ish) - not the mini.
I was the same gear head I am now and knew the shoes the winner was wearing. I talked to the riders, male and female. The PUCH women's team looked good. 20-30 years later I was able to tell the then winners things they didn't remember. That lead to friendships with champions then, dads now. It was a league I was never in, but I was a fan ten, as I am now.
