Being out of a job has it’s perks. Eldora has had over a foot of snow in the last couple of days, and I had to go check it out. The weather at the house was nice, no wind and sunny, but 5 decrees. Eldora called for a high of 20 decrees, and with no […]

Got some snow? Go skiing!
That’s what I did today. There wasn’t snow much at the house, but Eldora claimed 6in over the last two days. The snow was a little wet for this time of year, but there was no wind and it was 30 decrees. After skiing some double black runs, and beating my legs to a pulp, […]
Denver Museum of Nature and Science
I needed to rest today, and clear the head. We headed into Denver to check out the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. I must say I was very impressed. I’ve been to many museums in my life, and many around the world and this one is at the top, probably second to the Smithsonian. […]
What do you do when you lose your job
That’s right, today I got the boot. I somewhat expected it. The up side, I’ll get to ride by bike more and concentrate on coaching. Since I had the day off, I planned an MTB ride. There is still a lot of snow on the north facing slopes so I needed to head to […]

Inauguration Workout

Nice day for a hike
I took the family out to Golden Gate Canyon State park. We hiked up the Burro trail to Mountain Lion trail to the Little old house that sits by the lake. I’ve been by there many times on MTB rides, but never really hung out. We had a nice lunch while sitting on the porch […]
Ward and back
Today was a long and easy ride. Though it wasn’t too easy. There were some really strong gusts of wind while I was heading up north. When the gusts hit me a few times it almost made me stop. If I wasn’t pedaling I would have falling over. The way back was a bit easier, […]
