Epi/Prologue

Hey there, I'm Matt, and in August and September of 2008, a group of 3 hardy and ballsy mountain bikers decided to through ride the Colorado Trail. I took notes every day on trail, so here's how this is going to work - I'll post my notes on this here blog, and you can follow our progress in retrospect. This is sort of both an intro to the blog and an end, as we obviously didn't die on trail. Each entry will have a location, and when I feel like it, I'll add placemarks and trip stats so you can have some idea of what we were up to. If the other two guys want to make some posts, they might appear here too. The posts have been timestamped for when I actually wrote the entry in my notebook, so if you want to follow from the very beginning, go back to August 23 and read up. Anyways, here goes.
