I decided to go out for another mountain bike ride before a final snow storm worked it’s way through the area mid-week. Only two days after my last mountain bike ride, the original plan was to tackle two other nearby trails, but as is the norm with any plans I...
I have hiked the Picture Rock trail a couple times, and each time I had noticed how great of a Mountain Biking trail it would be. Sunday, I finally tackled it on a bike and it was a fantastic little trail. It is gently uphill for 3 miles to an...
It has been nearly one full month since I arrived back in Colorado and since then I have had few adventures. Between spending time with Timmy and the repeated snow storms, I haven’t been able to get out on too many trails for biking or hiking. I have a list...
With the weather finally allowing the sun to shine, Conor and I took the opportunity to drive up Highway 14 to get in a quick snow-hike. Conor’s original plan was a trail up near the 10,000 ft elevation mark, but as we topped 8,000 the mountain was clearly trying to...
I slept so comfortably last night that when I woke this morning I had no clue I was covered in frosting. The interior of the van never dipped below mid 30’s overnight, which is sleeping-in-my-skimpies kind of weather. Immediately after snapping this image, I opened the river’s door allowing all...
Good ol’ Saturday Night racin’ at Colorado National Speedway! This was my first visit to CNS even though I have lived only a few miles from the track for the past 5 years. It is visible from the Interstate and each time I passed by I told myself, “this Saturday...
I know, I know. This is the 3rd year now that I’ve said I will setup residence in South Dakota and once again I took the easy way out. I blame it on the Datsun though, it isn’t my fault… I swear! All the work that it takes to setup...
Today, in a desperate attempt to do something other than sit around behind a computer all day, I drove into Boulder to revisit Pearl Street Mall. My first, and only, visit to Pearl Street a few years back left me with a bad taste in my mouth. It seems to...
It has been a good while since I hiked the Lions Gulch trail into the Homestead Meadows area. Conor and I have attacked the meadows from different trails multiple other times, but not up the dreaded Lions Gulch with it’s 1500+ ft elevation gain an 3 miles trail, some considered...
I have passed by this road many times on my way up the mountain to numerous other hikes over the years. It is only a few miles outside of Lyons, which is right up the road from me. It was not until late last year that I finally traveled the...
