🚴‍♂️ Age Defied: Unstoppable Spirit of a 72-Year-Old

At 72, Charlotte Miller competed in the Pikes Peak APEX mountain bike race this weekend, embodying the spirit of resilience. With decades of experience, she navigated the challenging trails of the three-day race, focused on both physical endurance and mental acuity. Miller's journey, which began in her 30’s, in the 1980s when few opportunities existed for women in the sport, now serves as an inspiration to racers of all ages. She encourages newcomers to harness their nerves positively and to compete not just against others but to better their own records. Her story is a powerful reminder that age should never limit one's pursuit of passion and fitness.

🗳️ El Paso County Launches New Voter Info Portal

The portal, which features interactive maps and live video feeds from ballot box locations, aims to enhance transparency and trust in the electoral process. Powered by Spatialest, EPC VIP is a pioneering election-focused GIS platform, positioning El Paso County as a national leader in election data accessibility.
