Tom Grundy's Colorado YES tour with the Yogaslackers Page

The giant yogaslacker light lit up the sky and the call went out from yogaslacker central (wherever the yogaslackers are), a biker was down and they needed another. Since I didn't get onto Julie's Grand Canyon river trip, I joined the slackers in Denver for the second half of the Colorado YES tour. YES = Yoga Extreme Sustainability. The tour was around Colorado by bicycle carrying all the toys needed to complete 108 climbs, 54 miles of whitewater, heaps of slacklining and yoga, slackline yoga and acro-yoga workshops, 1080 miles of biking, etc. etc. It started at the Teva Mountain Games in Vail and ended at the Telluride Yoga Festival. Part of the purpose was to raise awareness and money for Beads of Courage, a non-profit that helps children with serious illnesses cope with their treatments.

We blogged almost every day, so I am including links to the blogs at the end of this page. The blogs contain maps, pictures, text, links, and sometimes video, and rather than retelling everything, I am just linking like the lazy little slacker I am (besides, I am in Wyoming and have better things to do than type on the computer all day). There are also links to videos on Youtube. Someday I might make progress with the many GB of photos I took, but meanwhile you can see pics in the blog posts.

There may be a final video or other summary, and I'll post a link when/if there is one.
