Sent: Thursday, July 22, 1999 12:41 PM Subject: Incline Club V3 TH #16 LR #35 Leadville pacers wanted: With the Leadville 100 and Pike Peak on the same weekend this year, I am having a time finding pacers. I was wandering if in your connections with trail runners if you know of anyone that might be interested in pacing me. Speed is not an issue, just need someone that has trail / mountain running experience, and doesn’t mind being out in the woods in the dark. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Lee Burton (e-mail address removed for www posting) 719-262-0213 (w) 719-687-4377 (h) **** New shoes still available but size has changed!!! Someone tried out Rick Hessek’s pair of Nike Air Terra Ketchikans that he is giving away. Rick (size 10) thought they felt like 9 1/2s but this person says they are more like 9s. So if you wear size 9 let me know if you want them — first come first serve!!! **** Incline Club PPPPP notice!!!

Or run from the bottom trying to time it so that you meet the Elk Park group at Barr Camp at around 8:30a.m. **** www posts: 7/18/1999 32 people ran all kinds of workouts on Pikes Peak today. Most started from Elk Park but there were others who ran from the top and some who started at the bottom. One small patch of snow (about 6 steps) is all that remains. After the run a group of us worked our way down the trail to help the Friends of the Peak, the Forest Dept and the PPM committee clear rocks off of the trail. The organized trail groups did the big stuff and worked the longest, we just cleared the little rocks. The first couple of switch-backs after the 16 Golden Stairs sign are in the best shape I have ever seen them and I would not be totally honest if I didn’t say I am going to miss the challenge that they used to present when they were a lot rougher. However I can’t wait to fly through that section now - from the sign to the summit now looks like a carpet:-) 7/15/1999 29 people and a dog got seriously wet today. Otherwise it was perfect and the wet trail made for some great traction. 7 of us headed over to the Cave of the Winds for a time trial afterwards. **** Club records: # of dogs on a run: 7 # of Thursdays in a row — Rick Hessek: 20 # of people on the Incline: 23 # of people to show for breakfast: 25 # of people on a Thursday: 28 # of Sundays in a row — Rick Hessek: 30 # of people at a party: 30 # of people on a Sunday: 39 # of club runs in a row — Rick Hessek: 42 # of members in a race — Pikes Peak A & M: 44 # on e-mailing list: 136 Incline Club Page: http://www.skyrunner.com/incline.htm Incline Club FAQ: http://www.skyrunner.com/incline_faq.htm Incline Club Mosaic Game: http://www.skyrunner.com/game/mosaic_intro.htm This e-mail: http://www.skyrunner.com/incline_mail.htm **** Go out hard, when it hurts speed up...
