Courage Classic - Blog 1 - July 19th-23, 2012

Day 1-July 19

Arrived at Silverthorne Condo
Emily's friend, Julie and her parents own a condo in the Eagle's Nest subdivision
outside of Silverthorne.  They were kind enough to let us use it during the ride. As we approached, we noticed the huge nest (thus the name)! 
 
After some research, Brad discovered that the nest was housing osprey, rather
than eagles.  Still very cool sight to see those babies.
When we left Grand Junction, it was 94 degrees. Arrived in Silverthorne to rain
and 62 degrees.  Wonderful!!!!!
Raining, cool night so we just hung out and watched a movie.
 
Day 2 - July 20th
Happy 21st birthday to our Patrick!
Enjoyed coffee on the patio (wrapped in blankets wearing sweats).

Chris and Mike Barnett were meeting us in Copper Mountain for Courage Classic
registration, so we took off early to enjoy a day in Copper.
Event area set up for the ride.
 
Hanging out in chairs that would become a premium within the next 24 hours!
 
Had lunch and with it came free lift tickets to ride up to the top of
the mountain. Waited out the impending storm clouds and took off!
 
Took a short hike on Hallelujah Trail. (very short!)
