The commute home has never been so great! A mostly flat bike path next to Slones Lake and then a fast and slightly dangerous downhill through the highlands on the way to downtown Union Station. I then get to take a nap on the bus that drops me off 30 minutes later where the stop […]

The Struggle
Last ride of July and I had problems. First, I couldn’t connect to the scrum phone call from the trail. I could make other calls but couldn’t connect to the conference line. This pales in comparison to my next struggle. For about two weeks I’ve been having problems with my front tube valve. I have […]
Grocery Ride
Short ride to the grocery store to return a RedBox DVD that I had for two weeks. (That’s going to be an expensive movie). I also forgot to record the ride back home but I’m sure it was 10 minutes and 1.4 miles. Distance: 1.48 miles
Pothole Fun
Homeward bound. Almost recked on the downhill when I hit a pothole that was behind a shadow. I’ll probably have a flat when I get home. Distance: 3.45 miles
Maybe New
Another Platte trail day and I’m starting to think about changing my route. I think it’s best to change things up when the ride is getting both easy an predictable. I found another trail going west instead of south and I’m trying to find where the paths connect. I think I’ll start another path next […]
Loose Gravel
Woke up this morning and decided that I want to visit with some family and friends so I started researching bike trails over a cup of coffee. I decided to ride to downtown like normal but then take a detour through the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge. It sounded like a nice ride and it […]
Cooler Than Rice
A really great lunch at the Cooler consisting of a sandwich and a cold beer. I remember being a poor college student who could only afford rice for lunch. My only selection was salt and pepper or soy sauce on my white rice. Distance: 2.43 miles
Old Guy (OG)
Another beautiful day on the trail. The racing teams are starting to come out or maybe I’m just getting out a little earlier so I notice them. I need to keep in mind that they’re the ones on a training schedule and I’m just an old man on a bike going to work. Distance: 19.91 […]
