Slacker

Boy...have I been slacking off this year. I'm sorry about that. I started a new job, moved to a new city, and found whole host of new trails to ride.

Some things are good, and some things are not so good about change. I like the new trails, although there are fewer up hear near Golden than their were at the old diggs. That's OK...the trails here are better maintained, even if they're a lot more populated. I'm also closer to many of the trails I like to hit near Breck, and Frisco (Frisco is where I plan to retire to one day).

Keep checking the site though, I've been mapping trails around Golden, Boulder, Nederland, and places west from Denver all summer. I've also found some great bike shops like Wheatridge Cyclery, and Golden Bike Shop in downtown Golden.

I have to say that working in Lodo has its benefits as well, but I really miss having trails close to the office. However, deer and elk never looked as good as a coed sunbathing along the Platte river at lunch. The confluence of the Platte, and Cherry Creek are a great hangout at lunch. Also, having REI right there makes for a great way to get the food and toys you need for your camping weekend as well.

Anyway, I hope you all are having a happy summer. Mine has been better this year than the last few. I missed Fat Tire Bike Week in Crested Butte this year, but I made it up by spending every weekend there since June. I've found some new trails, and revisited some old ones.

Happy Trails!
