    Re: About That Time

    That time of year when city dwellers act like lemmings, and have a mass exodus in their cages and clog up P2P, braking without warning and pulling out / u-turns without looking.... watch out!

    Ooo, pretty colors. Looking forward to lots of BOTM submissions.

    Just got back from Bryce Canyon and the tundra plants above Telluride have started turning bright colors. Sho nough, the freeze is moving it's way down. Going to the top of Evens this weekend to check out the colors up there.

    Can't wait. Nice early morning rides where the air is crisp and you can smell the leaves.

    I'm very much looking forward to a beautiful fall ride. Lots to take in.

    Ricky and I have a trip planned up through winter park, then to glenwood in a couple weeks so that we can take in the scenery! Can't wait! Hopefully it's not too crappy outside that weekend because we're taking the bikes!

    Re: About That Time

    Went out to Steamboat this weekend and it was a nice brisk ride. Most of it had a nice little crisp in the air and I can only imagine how nice it'll look in a few weeks!

    p.s. I love Berthoud Pass!!!!!
