Your MLK Day Ride
I had the day off and took advantage of the ridiculously nice weather we are having here on the front range to ride. Couldn't stop saying "Can you believe it's January?"
85 miles, 5100' climbing, with a friend who road his fixie.
Anyone else get out?

Your MLK day ride
I rode 25 miles on my commuter bike, Walmart and back. I am trying to decide which bike to use on a 77 mile ride/camping trip. I have a Cervelo RS with thin tires and no rack. My commuter bike is a heavy 29er with a rack and a triple crank. It would be good for roads with no shoulder and long inclines, but it is hard to maintain a 14 mph average. Well, I have six weeks to make up my mind.

Rode up to downtown, back around by Wallyworld and the LBS, 18 miles.

I'm glad the weather has been good somewhere. Up here it's been cold, snow, cold, snow, cold... and so on.
Today I rode an hour on my rollers, woo hoo!

I did my regular 20 mile ride through the Garden of the Gods, enjoying every second of it, as I have the last three days. As long as this weather wants to stay in the front range is fine with me.

No joy for me. Still off the bike following a bout of pneumonia and sinus infections. Dang mortality...

After rolling on the sewups for Sat and Sunday, I put on the clinchers with MrTuffy's today for a 20.6 mile run on some roads I knew would still be littered with gravel and reflector bits from the big snow. https://www.pacificnwbest.com/ was my destination, but I really shoulda checked their website before planning lunch there. "CLOSED on Mondays"
Oh well, it was a perfect day and a nice ride nonetheless...

I took the day off (it should be a national holiday, imo), and did nothing. It was a rest day for me anyway, so I felt great while I did it.

I rode with some guys on the team here from Denver to Castle Rock and back. It was so nice here in Denver today!

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
Took the MTB down to the Mall to see the crowds as the sun was setting.
It's nuts around here. Just after 1 AM and, for nearly twelve hours now, it's been bumper-to-bumper traffic... in my decidedly non-arterial street.
I wonder how many people have arrived so far from out of town.
