Courage Classic

Mark and I finished the Courage Classic bike ride yesterday. This is a fund raiser for The Children's Hospital in Denver. The weather was cool and fortunately the rain did not come until we were sitting in on the patio having a beer with friends on our team. This year we rode with the Wheels of Fortune as team started by Austin Peterman. Austin had a brain tumor that he survived with the help of the doctors at Children's Hospital. He wanted to raise money for the people who saved his life. Austin's Dad, Doug and I have known each other for several years through a CEO group called Vistage, so when he told about Austin creating this riding team I quickly switch from the Spin Doctors to the new team. Another member of Vistage Marley has a fast casual dining company called MAD Greens. They make the best salads and sponsored our team. Our 16 member team raised $18,000 so far. Mark and I rode 178 miles this week.Mark and I are at his family reunion in Snowmass for the rest of this week. More riding, hiking and of course a lot of eating this week.
