The Historical Vail Trail- The road between Gran Junction, CO and Denver, CO was full of scenery. It was hard to determine whether we should suspend the bike tour indefinitely or keep riding on. The Team needed rest, but with a "clinic" set up in Denver, we had to make 243 miles in two days of riding -and- over the hardest part of the trip. Both athletes were exhausted!!!
DF makes himself aerodynamic as he pushes 25 mph to Vail 
Is this the Tour De Tundra, or the Tour De France?
El Rock coasting to Vail!
Tell me Emmett, "Did you bring your skis?"
After the 90 mile mark and just 4.5 hours of riding (no stops!!!), the team take a much needed breather and rest in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The scenery is amazing here. Luckily, we were able to meet some folks that DIDN'T know about the sport of handball and this allowed us to get into "sales-mode" and pass out Discs, fliers, and Emmett's latest music CD. Our reception was grand in a place where just a few courts even exist.
Scenery in Glenwood Springs was amazing!!! In my next life I will be living here (in the next life DF will be Shirley Maclaine, BTW)
The Team pulls into Vail after putting in almost 150 miles and both riders fall asleep within 30 minutes!!! Just 80-something to go until Denver and Pro Handball Clinic.
