Dale,
This is great news! The very best of luck with this 2008 event.
For 2008, it looks as if (at least I'm hoping) I may be involved somewhat in a Tour of Colorado and any other projects may have to be put on hold.
I own the Trade Name and domain name of tourofcolorado.com The site is up and running.
In the meantime, I need to clean my 1974 custom built Holdsworth and '72 Paramount P13.
And by the way, I spotted a beautiful '70 something Pogliaghi the other day. Some old guy (like us) was riding it near the US Olympic Training Center. I wasn't able to stop him so I'm hoping I'll see him again. Then, we have another Eastern European type riding around town on one of those Russian red Colnagos. He even has the correct CCCP red jersey!
