Fort Collins, CO
It is Million Mile Monday. Tim logged 200 miles today. I have logged 196 miles today. He gets 4 more miles because of the ride to and from work. We didn't get as early a start as we would have liked. Tim worked until nearly 1 am and needed to get some sleep. We rolled out of the neighborhood before 8:30 am heading in a southerly direction through Loveland, Longmont, Boulder and eventually, Golden. Soon we were riding past the casinos at Blackhawk and Central City heading up. We rode the peak-to-peak highway in the glorious Rocky Mountains with sunshine on our shoulders the whole way. Can you see me smiling? We met lots of other riders along the peak-to-peak highway. It is a popular ride, no matter what the reason.This was a quick ride by mountain standards. Normally, we will dawdle and make a day out of this one. We stopped in Golden for gas, in Nederland for coffee and a cookie at the New Moon Bakery (a favorite stop for us) and made a final stop at the Visitor Center in Estes Park before riding hard down the canyon to Loveland and arriving home about 2 pm, just in time for Tim to grab his lunch and get to work.
It was a great ride. Now all we have to do is see how many other riders were out there contributing to the cause.
Wichita Falls, TX - They had rain in Texas, today. The skies cleared enough to get out about 4 pm. Dad logged 52 miles today...
Oh yeah - I took pictures...
