my daughter and i have been traveling around the western side of Denver (Georgetown, Granby, Fraser valley, etc) and wow. amazing runs i have had and horse rides she has had (cattle drives specifically). unfortunately i haven't made it out on my bike yet and will manage to pack it back up in the box without having used it in CO. couldn't figure out a headset problem that presented itself after taking the bike apart to pack it but wow. you guys have some gorgeous country here. haven't swum since i left the Caribbean (so glad to leave the sargassum for a while) so these mountains seem a little pool challenged but i likely haven't looked hard enough. the weather is shockingly cold though - this is Summer? i know i couldn't live here for more than a couple weeks due to the weather (too cold) but wow, you guys have some amazing mountains and land here. runners and cyclists paradise. i even ran on a mountain! through rock slides (okay, hugged the side of the mountain and walked when i didn't want to look to the open air side :)) and over creeks and oh my up and down. lungs bursting but still, wow.
