Roller Dolls Blur

Next door to the Rocky Mountain Bike Show was a roller derby.

Roller Derby? you ask. That's how I felt before I went but now I get it.

The girls are fast, athletic and appear to have a lot of fun. Each team has 5 skaters on the track at time. There is 1 lead skater whose purpose I did not understand, then there are 3 blocking skaters and 1 rear skater. The rear skaters score points for their team by getting around the blocking an lead skaters of the opposing team.

Rocky Mountain Bike Show











The 2nd annual Rocky Mountain Bike Show occurred in Denver today. After a long day of working in the yard, I rushed over and caught the last hour. My favorite bikes there were made of machined wood by Renovo.

While at the bike show I also saw Sonya Looney. Sonya is a professional mountain biker with Topeak Ergon whose blog I enjoy reading whenever Rickard sends me updates.
