premise: We only were there for a limited time this visit , long enough to take in the weekly summer farmer 's market and to go out to eat at the Loop restaurant . We were hopefully that the Kilroy clan would be able to join us for a day at the Folks Fest , but the start of school and Chris 's annual participation in the Pikes Peak run prevented them from driving up . Chris did manage to once again run the Pikes Peak Ascent , a 13.32 mile , 7,815 ft . ascent up the side of the mountain , this year in pretty hideous conditions . What would have happened if Chris did not take part in the Pikes Peak run ?
hypothesis: The Kilroy clan would have been able to join us for the Folks Fest even if just for a shorter time because of school starting
