Welcome
I am in Parker(right off of the Cherry Creek Trail), almost 63 yo, drive a Lemond BA and a Specialized HR, my wife rides also (Cannondale road bike and Specialized HR) and we enjoy the cherry creek trail near Parker, the Platte River Greenway, Chatfield, Cherry Creek State Park, Confluence Park and thereabouts, riding from Frisco over Vail Pass, among other rides.
I have done a couple of Ride the Rockies, the Santa Fe Century, the Elephant Rock (never again), the HardScrabble (got turned back at 30 miles by the heavy snow).
I started riding 4.5 years ago and my wife 3 years ago.
Again, welcome. Maybe we will run into each other on the trails some day!!
