OK, Roddick just hit another Ace so I can tune out from the Aussie Open to update the day's travels.
Arriving in Boulder, CO always feels soooooo good. There is something about the Flat irons backdrop that seems to absorb the sunshine and make this such a warm place to be. It is a Mecca for many of the world's best runners and other athletes who need high altitude training - 5,430ft!
I have only met Andy Ames of Excel Sports a few times but am always amazed at how modest he is considering his incredible athletic achievements, including being the 2004 National Masters Mountain Running Champion. Andy agreed to test our Trail 19 running sock - that will no doubt be about the best feedback we can get! Thanks, Andy! Excel carries lots of DeFeet products, including some sharp looking custom Excel Lev-Lite socks.
A stroll up Pearl St lands Ryan and I at University Bikes, aptly named as Boulder is home to the University of Colorado (any College kid's dream home away from home). This shop is like a mass of humanity in bike form - every color, shape, size, coming out of the ceiling, on every wall and every inch of floor space and iall organized so it looks like art. Rumor has it they move bikes per square foot than any other bike shop in the country. And they have a new bike fit centre upstairs - no sq ft is wasted.
