Colorado Triple Crown Part 2

Here I am at 2am ready for the Corado Triple Crown part 2 (for me).  
The Grand Loop - 200 miles and nearly 16,000 feet of climbing!  I signed up late yesterday and so haven't been receiving the pre race emails and confirmed start time.  The last race I did started at 2am (having been changed from the advertised start of 4am) - so I wasnt too sure today, although it did say 3am online!   So I thought I had better arrive in plenty of time - however at 1.45 am this morning I was the only one here!!      
Managed to get to bed at 8.30 yesterday, having finished work at 7.30 - so not a lot of sleep!  Anyway I am sitting in the car, ready to go - people watching.  People in all stages or readiness - helmets on, shoes on, messing around with their bikes - just making me laugh, sitting here watching the scene!!  Went to Burger King for breakfast earlier - apparently the breakfast menu doesn't start till 3am!  So I had a chicken burger!  I guess I am ready.  About to chuck my gear in the truck and get ready to do this ride!  at least it is a lot warmer than last time - hopefully I am not going to need the fleeces today!  We start off riding towards Boulder - so don't ride a Pass for a while, by which time it should be a bit warmer anyway!!   Well - that's it - another blog later!!
