Maybe if I start planning now I can make that one. 
I love being insanely busy... not.
I'm going over to the dark side and purchasing a beat up vehicle in the next month or two. It should make things easier for organized and group rides. That and picking up my son in snowstorms.

Check it out:
Left to right: Howard, Sunshine, bmclaughlin807, Deadhead, Bike Princess, Super Nana @ ~14,200 ft. elevation
PS: Oh, We caught some bad weather on the way back down... RMCC had to have been HURTING... that is, if they didn't just turn around when the weather started rolling in.

I went and rode Apex. (MTB) Ok, maybe rode is to strong a word. More like I walked my bike up Apex. Man, that thing was hard. I need more skillz. Girls only want boyfriends who have great skillz.

Yes, and it's the most awesome jersey in the world! Actually, I own two jerseys now... Club Hypoxia and Triple Bypass.
Even more amazing? I just ordered a pair of shorts to match the Hypoxia Jersey.
There's even a Hypoxiette version!
We're doing the same ride again on the 2nd! (Probably start just a little earlier)
It's the last weekend that the summit road is open... if you're interested in doing the ride, you should come!
We're also doing the Peak to Peak highway on the 1st, starting in Boulder if that works better for you... a century with about 7,000 or 8,000 feet of climbing. Another AWESOME ride.

Peak to Peak is a fun road. I hit a bit of it doing one of my routes.
Either way I want to make one of the rides. It would be a wonderful way to end this summer.
I may just have to ride with y'all more and get me a jersey.
BM with a kit? Will wonders ever cease? j/k

Hey, I even ordered MATCHING SOCKS! *gasp*
Peak to Peak ride info:
Peak to Peak ride info:
I've been thinking of doing a ride from Boulder, up the Boulder Canyon to Nederland across the Peak to Peak highway to Estes Park, then back to Boulder.
The route is a full century. It also has a very significant amount of climbing, probably 7,000 or 8,000 feet of vertical.
Plan is to meet at the Boulder Rec Center (at 55th and South Boulder Road) at 7:30 a.m. for an 8 a.m. roll-out.
UPDATE
Here is the route: www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Boulder-Nederland-Estes-Loop

Bleh....
Life interfers again. No daycare and my wife now no longer has the day off.
I'm going to have to find a shorter ride Sat. However, she may not work Sunday. *crosses fingers*
Evans would be a blast. We took my mother up it last Saturday and my goodness was it beautiful. Kind of scary to drive. Would rather ride.
All the cyclists did not help.I should know more later.

She was all smiles when she did, in fact, make it to the top (under her own power, no less!)
If you do come, bring some cold-weather gear for the trip back down the mountain, and a change of clothes, just in case! (Sitting in wet cycling gear during lunch wasn't the highlight of my day, let me tell you!)
Forecast is looking good, but you never know what's going to happen that high up!
