Life Is Good
Life is good. Celebrated number 72 with family, had 4 days of good riding in the Front Range of Colorado and the riding temperature never dropped below +31F.
For those familiar with the Denver area; today rode along the Platte River from C470 up to the REI store (I think that's Confluence Park) and return. Round trip was just two hours of nice riding, interrupted by a Cliff bar break next to the river at REI watching some kayakers practice.
Wow, what a wealthy country to afford such wonderful bike paths!
Tonight just as I'm getting acclimated to the altitude I had to turn in my rental bike. It was a Trek 2.1. Not an outstanding bike. But, certainly an acceptable one for this kind of thing. It worked flawlessly for the four days. Next time I'll bring my own saddle though!
So, fellow antiques, take heart, we are like fine wine. We improve with age!
