Rocky Mountain Moments

Sights from my Bike Ride

We broke a record for high temperature on this date.  It got up to 76 F with a bright sunny sky.  I dressed in layers for my ride and spent the next 2 hours shedding them!  I rode 30 miles, mostly on dirt roads through farmland.  It was mostly deserted and nothing is growing now so I could see for miles.  It was wonderful!  When I got back to town I was going to circle a nearby lake but there were so many people walking on the path that it looked like a parade.  There were lots of people on kayaks and two bikini clad girls on paddle boards (upper right).  There is still ice on parts of lake.  I hope they remained upright!

I have added a screenshot of the weather app on my phone today.  See what it says for tomorrow?  We are expecting a 52 degree temperature drop in the next 24 hours along with the snow.  Gotta love Colorado!

I am grateful that Trixie (my bike) and I didn't get hurt when we slipped on some loose dirt and landed on the ground!  I was slowing to a stop to take some photos when her wheel slipped so we just kind of tipped over.  So glad no one was around to see it!!
