I rode 10 out of 11 days in a row. At 70 years old with replaced knees, that's pushing it. A working person would only have had about 5 good days last month.
It wasn't toasty in Boulder either. I look for 5-7C as a good temperature.

I have no idea what your smattering of factoids is supposed to convey. I simply pointed out (to another poster) that winters in the Colorado front range are pretty mild. He stated he was thinking of the Loveland ski area, which would have much harsher weather than the city of Loveland. It actually has nothing to do with you at this point.
