So, we had temps in the 70's, so I loaded the two mtn bikes in the van and we drove to one of our favorite trails.
There were literally 100's of folks out hiking and riding, and it was real nice, as my wife is not a "fast" rider, and we just took our time and said "howdy." The 20 foot wide hard-packed gravel trail is called the Highline Canal Trail and wanders through the south side of the Denver Metro Area for about 70 miles.
She wears a t-shirt that says www.fitterafter50.com (I think) - we were recently featured as "masters of fitness" in a book about that topic. We didn't do too bad for a couple of folks in their 60's, if I may so so myself.
There is a rec center along the way, along with other activities. So we rode for about 2 hours, and we had a coupon for a buy one get one free Dairy Queen Sundae, and after our ride I had hot fudge (with cherry, whipped cream and nuts) and she had butterscotch.
All in all a great afternoon.
What about the rest of you? Anyone else get out with their family today?
