A Leisurely Noon-time 65+ Ride
A Leisurely Noon-time 65+ Ride
temp - about 39F, wind 5 mph, sunny with a few clouds.
Some pics (taken with my cell phone camera) from my ride along our trail system to Subway for lunch and return today. I love riding our plowed trails when there is a bit of snow around.
BELOW - Scenes along the trail, my "utility bike."
BELOW: Our little Cherry Creek
BELOW: The Trail splits - to the left over the bridge S. 14 miles to rural Franktown, to the right 25 miles to downtown Denver and parts beyond, up to several hundred miles.
BELOW This about 1/2 million dollar bicycle bridge was just built by our rec dept so folks could get over the gully to the shopping center on the right. You also see two fingers! Heck, it is used by at least 10 folks per day! There is a ramp up to the bridge on the left that I didn't et in the picture.

Very nice pics! Who plows the trails, is it the city? I think it's great when bike paths are useful to go places instead of just riding in circles.
Things have been a little slow around BF, it's the time of year.

You guys ought to be ashamed of yourselves!

Some years ago the man who started "The Death Ride" in Northern California advertised it with 2 names, but equal exposure. "The Tour of the California Alps" got only a few responses while "The Death Ride" got hundreds, and now sells out so fast it has a lottery to get entries.
What's in a name?

What I like is that the pictures are satisfactory - not excellent, but good enough to share with this bunch of lousy old-timers. Meaning that I never have to worry about carrying a camera with me, as I always have my CP. Of course, that doesn't work if no one views the thread, Sort of like that tree in the forest - if no one sees the tree fall, did it fall? - or something like that!

Hey. I was gone all day. I LIKE your original thread and like these type of "here's my standard ride" pictures. I don't get to ride post-snow anymroe, so it's fun to see white stuff on the ground. OK. I did look at the other thread, too.
