Pikes Peak: February 2007

Friday, February 02, 2007

A recent story in the Colo Springs Gazette says the Pikes Peak races will begin offering prize money to the top finishers. Should attract a better field, maybe give Matt Carpenter some competition for once. Also added is an essay contest for folks who miss the registration deadline, which is expected to be about five hours after rego opens on March 1.
