Almost Spring!

Hitting the road bikes today on a pre-spring ride around Boulder County. First hooked up with the VeloNews crew for Tour de Carter Lake. It's a fun ride, but it's been done way to much lately. It's a primarily flat ride...which is pretty rare around here. You see, there are plenty of great canyon climbs around here, but in the winter time the descents will shiver your timbers. You almost need to wear a wetsuit and outfit your bike this some of this gear...The sun was shining, so Jackie and I hit the road for a Longmont 'city ride'...but Longmont is pretty rural so we took in some varied attractions...We finally figured out what Borat did with his van after the movie...
We had a nice view of Long's Peak - one of Colorado's 14ers...which we plan to climb one summer...We checked out some horses while finding a good use for the bottle cap I had in my pocket...And we found the place to buy our tractor if ever get the farm we've been talking about...
