Loving the Colorado weather

Today was beautiful! Work was slow so I was sent home around 9:30.... I have the bike on the rack ready to go. I called up a buddy of mine to see if he was willing to ride and just barely got him. We parked at the bottom of Red Rocks Trail went up the road to the Amphitheater. Went down some stairs, then back down the road to Red Rocks Trail again. Took that over to Matthew Winters park. Rode down the hill to a different entrance of Red Rocks up to the mid point and down to lower Red Rocks Trail back to where the car was parked. Took a short stop and realized we both wanted to continue. Rode into Morrison to the bike path, then into Bear Creek Lake Park and around. Around the 2 golf courses and back to Morrison over to yet another Entrance Red Rocks Park up to the mid point... Again! Then back to the car and home. A few interesting points I fell (guess it was bound to happen at some point) and broke my camera and some punks in BMW wanted to start a fight or such with us "Fat ****** Bikers" for some reason. It was really quite the entertaining ride today. Sorry I don't have more pics!

Thanks for the photos. It looks like a good time was had, despite the broken camera.

Now go get a new camera! :-)
