I was able to drag my AHH along on a recent trip to visit family in Colorado. Over the course of 6 days I was able to get out for 3 "real" rides... i.e. not counting riding around at the park with the nieces and nephews.
First... I did some exploring within the city limits of Ft Collins. I've been there a few times and sort of know my way around but it was fun to go around by bike and see it from a new perspective. I feel like I know it much better now. I didn't bring the camera on this ride so no pics to share from this one. Second... I met up with bob-list member Rod who took me on a tour of gravel roads in Weld County... east of Ft Collins. I was completely unfamiliar with the area we were in. I had a great time and Rod was a most gracious tour guide. Rod had mapped out a route but we abandoned the route when a particularly rutted road lured us to points unknown. My third ride was on my last day there. My brother-in-law wanted to show me one of his favorite road routes into the Rocky Mountain foothills. The climbing wouldn't have been too bad if it had started from sea-level like I am acclimated to. Starting at 5000ft made me slow down a bit but who's to say there's anything wrong with taking a few extra breaks? Pics and a lingering sunburn remind me what "sunny" is like<https://picasaweb.google.com/113148323994353762329/FtCollinsCORidesMarch2012?authuser=0&feat=directlink> --Smitty -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
