STAGE 3 OF THE USPCC. BRECK TO STEAMBOAT AND MORE. JENS GOES ALONE

Chris Froome gives Jens Voigt words of encouragement after his solo attempt at victory during Stage three into Steamboat. 

The first three days of the USPCC have been well, fun. Stage three was topped off with a Solo shot by none other Than Jens Voigt that had the top of Rabbit Ears pass in a frenzy today. "Red and White has quickly become the 500m mark for KOM points where it shows up....and the Honeystinger Bee has been everywhere I've been.

Today's throw shwag included the Cannondale crew chucking us chalk for the road which was immediately used to encourage Jens Voigt, otherwise known as Chuck Norris in these parts. And Smokey the Bear stopped by to give us frisbees. I guess if a fire breaks out close to where you stand you throw the frisbee at it and the hurricane force winds put the fire out. There are also billions of bags of Jelly Belly jelly beans that get tossed everyday which tunr into a fucking bar fight on pavement everyday, I won today.

There is a short and sweet story about this photo taken at the top of the Moonstone KOM climb yesterday in Breckenridge. Without getting into all the details, because Jens Voigt is almost directly in front of myself and Jamie Driscoll, I'll just say "it just happened".

And below is the Jens Voigt Pre Solo breakaway Rabbit Ears Pass ride from today's stage. Sorry if you missed it. Tomorrow Stage four comes right to the hood. Have fun at Beaver Creek everyone, I've got another plan. I'm tired of being around idiots like me.
