    300-mile RT Northern ride

    Who wants to join me this Sunday for a long ride?

    In honor of Think, and because I didn't ride last Sunday because of house hunting, and because I really wanna do a long ride...let's go ride.

    Meet up at 8:30 am at the Starbucks in the south Loveland King Soopers here...1275 Eagle Dr. on the south side of the KS parking lot. KSU by 9:00.

    PM me if you want details of the ride.

    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Just a one-weeker... trying to keep the stays to a minimum which means I'll probably have to go back before too long.

    Hmmm...ok, I'll try to plan my moving day for the time you'll be in CO, then. Yep, keeping fingers crossed this contract sticks...I'll be closing in early July. What a great way to celebrate Independence Day.

    If you've never ridden over the Snowy Range, def worth the trip! The Walden, Saratoga, Laramie, Walden loop is more like 400 from Loveland tho.

    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain."

    Yep, done that too. A couple of times in the past couple of years. I love the Snowy Range scenery...it's gorgeous.




    Will have to do this ride sometime later this summer.

    Re: 300-mile RT Northern ride

    Welp, at last look this evening, it looks like the weather will hold in the mid to upper 50s for Sunday in teh mountains. Like I mentioned before, be sure to post up, or send me a PM to let me know if you're coming from the south, so we can wait for ya. A little later morning start will help to warm up the mountains, too.

    Looking forward to the ride.

    Cathy, what's your route look like? I'll definitely be riding, but I have no idea where. I might meet up with you all somewhere if you're swinging south. Besides, I got some new Fieldsheer leather pants that need to get broken in!!!
