They have the triple crown in Colorado. Fairplay, Buena Vista and Leadville. In Leadville the race is during Boom Days.
They used to run over Mosquito pass into Fairplay and called it the , “Get your ass over the pass”, race.
Boom days is a hoot if you can go visit. I believe its the first weekend in August.
First week in August would be quite warm, would it not?
