Team Sage Grouse Hits the Dirt

New this year on the Front Range Flèche was Team Sage Grouse. Their route was the brainchild of Will deRosset, who in the end wasn't able to ride. Will's Red Dirt Randonnée formed the first 200k of the route - in the big sky country heading to Wyoming: Here are Foon Feldman and Josh Shafer at the team's "civilized" start in Fort Collins:The team had pre-arranged caches of water out at some controls in the wilderness, courtesy of Will: Here are Andrea Koenig (acting capt. ), Foon Feldman and Josh Shafer somewhere near Wyoming.

Knee problems forced the team to call it quits later on in their ride, but a good effort, and a fine adventure for the Sage Grouse!

Stay tuned for the report of Team Deer with Headlights ...
