We’re starting on the same weekend becauseColorado is hosting USAC Mountain Bike Nationals at SolVista on July17-20. If we went a week later we’d overlap by two days.The summer schedule’s pretty crowded here in Colorado – we hope thatin subsequent years we can give both the F50 and Nats a little morebreathing Replica Ulysse Nardin watches room (as well as find some of our own.)BIKERUMOR:Since they are local trails are you gonna get lynched by the community for blowing the stash?MIKE: No – the routes are all commonly used – therearen’t a lot of secrets out there. And to tell you the truth, your gamereally needs to be up to speed to ride that terrain at this altitude,so we’re not expecting a mad rush of tourists decked out with Wal-Martspecials getting up into our groceries. Plus, once the course markersare taken down a lot of that stuff will be really hard to find.
I livehere and still get lost. But that’s another story…(EDITOR’S NOTE: This is a first year event. All pictures represent the trails and riding you’ll be racing at the event. Clickon any image to enlarge.)BIKERUMOR:Why 6 days? why not 4 or Replica Vacheron Constantin watches 7?MIKE: Well, we sort of wanted to not add to theexisting craziness of the 4th of July weekend, so we’re starting onSunday afternoon. Then we looked at what we thought were kick-ass bigloop rides and came up with 5. There are infinite variations, but theseare the 5 main loops out of Breck that you go ride with your buds whenyou’ve got a bad attitude and 6 hours to kill.
BIKERUMOR:Since it’s 6 days and a clover leaf how my overlap is there or are you doing a 6 leaf clover? Is that an Irish thing?MIKE: It always comes back to that, doesn’t it?Somebody always got to play the Irish card. LOL – no, not much overlapat all. I think that we have two sections of trail (maybe three) thatwe use twice, and in Replica A Lange&Sohne watches those cases we’re running in opposite directions.BIKERUMOR:Are you expecting it to fill up? Is there a rider limit?MIKE: I think that we will fill. We’re off to astrong start and we represent a sizable value, especially if you’recoming from the US. The USFS will dictate the rider limit and that’sstill to be determined.BIKERUMOR:You think Tinker and Eatough will show?MIKE: Dunno.
