American Flyers



Its a day off due to the late game. So lets talk about American Flyers. This is one of my all time favourite movies. I recently changed my cycling route and was at the top of McCaslin and realized this is "the wall" as talked about in American flyers. I'm hoping that as the mile get up there Ill do stage 1 of American Flyers - the "Morgul-Bismark". I checked it out on google maps and it is really built up now and was all grass when it was filmed. The story is loosely based on the Coors classic when the US boycotted the Olympics and the Russian champions came over to compete.

I don't think Ill be doing stage 2 or 3 soon. Stage 2 was Golden to echo lake on Mount Evans and Stage 3 was the Colorado National Monument area (Also called the tour of the moon) at Grand Junction. Both of which I have driven. Maybe next year for stage 3!

The Morgul-bizmark trail can be found here
