WILDFLOWER RUSH CROWNS COMPETITORS AT CRESTED BUTTE

The Mountain States Cup Championship Series headed to Crested Butte on June 20-22 for the 8th Annual Wildflower Rush. Although several of the top riders who frequent the MSC were in Italy competing at the UCI World Championships, riders rolled in from all corners of the region to contend for podium spots. Just three weeks prior, postponement of the event had been seriously discussed as a monster winter had left the majority of the course covered in drifted snow. Three weeks of warm weather and lots of elbow grease and determination by the CB folks turned the trick however and riders were treated to some of the best course conditions in recent memory.

In Memorium: Mike Janelle, 1967-2007

If you've been racing XC in the Rockies over the past decade chances are pretty good that you crossed paths with Mike Janelle at one time or another. For the past several years he'd been a staple on the Tokyo Joes squad. Shortly after Thanksgiving last year Mike was taken from his wife Maribel and then unborn son, Lil' Mike. The folks at Tokyo Joes have set up a website where you can make a donation to help Mike's family get through the next few years. In return, you'll get an education about a man who lived life like it was meant to be lived. He was a sportsmanlike competitor, a friend to those in need and a beacon of hope to those mired in petty workday issues or seemingly endless 80-hour weeks at a desk. For your small donation you'll also get some great swag - stuff that serves as a reminder to work to live, not the other way around. Please, visit www.LIVELIKEMIKE.org - even if only to remind yourself of how precious each day really is.
