What were up against.

Colorado is infested with mutants.  No they can't shoot lightning bolts out their eyes, or summon thunderstorms but they can pedal bicycles. I participated, and I use this term loosely, in a no-name criterium Saturday.  It was the who's, who of guys that didn't quite make the cut for a trip to Europe for the Spring Classics. I fully expected to see team cars pull up.  Take for example mutant 1 or,M1 this dude lapped the entire field in less than 10 minutes.  Not bad for a father of three from the Burbs just out for a Saturday ride.
