    Morning run to Estes.

    While y'all were sleeping this morning, I hit the loop: Loveland-Glen Haven-Estes-Allenspark-Lyons. Wow, what a spectacular morning! Until Allenspark, the deer on the road outnumbered the cars, 3 to 2. I only encountered one car coming down Hwy 7 to Lyons that I had to get around. That route is far shorter that it seems when you do it with the cages. I think I'll have a grin plastered to my face all week. The picture is from to entrance to McGreggor Ranch, at the top of the Glen Haven loop. Five smiley faces out of five!

    I took off on an early morning ride as well up to Summit County, Ute Pass, Mt. Evans and Bear Creek Canyon...


    The morning's view:



    End of the road...




    The only popo I saw were on the way back. They were out in force in Bear Creek Canyon.

    Hey Salsa, Nice pics. I had to come home and switch to my mountain bike to go off-road. I wouldn't take my Super Hawk there, but your Duc looks perfectly happy on that road.

    You should tell me what to do so that my pics come up like yours when anybody looks at the thread, not just signed-in members. This is all just too complicated for me.

    Easy enough...

    1. Host your pics online instead of uploading them. I use Google's Picasa, but any of them work... Flickr, photobucket, smugmug...
    2. Find the image you want to appear in your online album and right click on the image, then select "copy image url"
    3. When you post to a thread, click the "insert image" icon on the toolbar (). right click and select paste in the popup.
    3a. You'll see code similar to this [ IMG ]http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forums/images/editor/insertimage.gif[/ IMG ]
    4. Submit Reply ...and done.

    Thanks. I'll give it a try. Wouldn't it be nice if it just did it for me?
