A Fat Tire Festival Summer
It's that time of year again boys and girls! Let the festivals begin! Since I've finally found a temporary landing in Golden, I'm ready for a summer of mountain biking and hiking. This should be nothing but a good time this year. Next weekend I will be heading to Fruita for the 15th Annual Fat Tire Festival there. With the snow this weekend in the mountains, it will be a nice change. Also, I just living riding on the western slope. I'm sure I will also end up in Moab, Utah for at least a day.
This year is also the first time since 2006 that I have been able to ride my bicycle to work. I forgot what it was like to deal with traffic. I prefer wildlife. It doesn't hurt as much when they hit you. The other morning I was riding from Golden, to LODO, and decided at some point that traffic lights were just a suggestion, and nearly became a hood ornimant to a beer truck. Obey the traffic laws...you'll live longer.
Which reminds me: If for some reason I do become a statistic of bicycle travel on the highway, please do me the favor of NOT putting up a cross where I was nailed by said beer truck. I wouldn't want my family to have to explain "Yep...that X marks the spot where Rex became road kill." Somehow it just seems undignified. Not that I'm so dignified, but I would rather not be remembered as a traffic fatality.
On a lighter note, with the official kickoff of the Colorado mountain biking season upon us, make this summer the best year ever for getting fit, learning new trails, and bringing friends to MappedTrails.com! It will only motivate me more to get new trails up and ready for your enjoyment.
Happy Riding!
