I just got back to the IBA International Meeting after riding the "Wild West 1000." The route was going to be: The Marriot Tech Center (where the meeting's being held) to the nearest has station (a Conoco 7/10 - mile away on the other side of I-25) to Pueblo; Montrose; Farmington; Moab; and back to the Conoco.
But yesterday somebody realized that the Colorado Pro-Bicycle Race was going to be on US-50 and we'd get caught in all that mess, so Lord Kneebone sent out an email, changing the route to: Denver, Alamosa, Farmington, Green River, UT, and Denver.
I didn't check email last night for the only time in recorded history and was on my way out the door when a guy coming in after riding a BunBurmer Gold (1500 miles in 24 hours) to get here asked me where I'd come from. I told him I was leaving on the WW1K and he said, "I guess you know about the change."
I didn't, so I had to come back up here and fire up my computer to get the message.
On top of that, I'd had about one hour sleep last night. I decided that if I started riding stupid, I'd pull the plug on the ride. But I didn't have any trouble...until I got off the bike here at the hotel. I didn't really have any trouble, but I'm sure ready for bed!
Nighty-night!
