We did for 20 years. Moved north and west by just a wee bit about a year ago.
We’ve been fortunate to live in a bunch of different locations across the country. Liked all of them too so that’s a bonus.
Mountain biking and skiing was best in Utah. Road racing and riding was pretty good around here and we have some trails too. The pictures upthread are from our back deck so its a nice view.
thanks I was starting to worry about have another senior moment!
That’s awesome!! I have about a 20-minute pedal to cross over a parkway (heading west) to get to farmland - nice open roads that are relatively well maintained with little traffic. Many loops of varying distances, then 20-minute cool down to get back home. I can drive (or bike if I really wanted to) 30-40 miles north to get to some climbing.
Indeed. Thought @DarthShivious was taking pictures from a golf course, nice views!
WOW! I was in Boulder last week and the trees were just starting to change. I wish I’d seen this. Stunning.
We’re about 2 weeks later this year due to the relatively wet spring/summer we’ve had vs last year. Had this been last year, you would have been in the peak color season.
Thanks Darth - but don’t close the thread!! I love seeing the rides you guys post. Keeps me inspired and want to ride more places.
For a change of scenery, I’m in the desert this evening. Some great “flow” riding here. Heading for the rocks tomorrow - which I prefer - is that bad??
I have a new toy for camping - a Starlink dish. I know, I may be contributing to space clutter and junk. But it’s nice to be able to get to the boonies on Friday, and still close out stuff from work before the weekend.
“Dead Man’s Party” is far more appropriate!
Out for a ride for TR’s Frissell, 4x9’ tempo. It was a nice day even if overcast. Temp was fine in the upper 50s F.
Could wear my heart rate monitor because the strap hurt my ribs. Also, had to keep my hands light on the bars on climbs because of continuing pain involving top of my upper arm bone (humerus) and my tricep, I think. Starting to think I should visit the doc.
Do you know the cause? My wife had a nagging injury that slowly kept getting worse. Turned out to be a bone spur that was slowly growing and tearing into her bicep.
2.5 hour endurance ride. Nice fall day here. A bit chilly and some breeze. But we’ll take it!
No good photos. Leaves are turning though so might get some good tree shots next few weeks.
OK… felt bad, no photo. So here is a nice shot a friend in Park City took this morning on her ride. Kinda counts. Sorta.
A picture is worth 1000 words:
Sweat!!!
Last two days of high temps in the 90s, and then its mid 80s for a couple weeks.
Yeah, and its annoying how the older we get, something like a little fall can hang around for so long.
Dang - that’s still hot. We’re not likely to crack 70 deg F here anytime soon. According to the LRF anyway. No frost yet though.
Ha! I was referring to your Halloween comment. I guess you’ll just have to play both songs!
Yes, I had an embarrassing crash on the bike wherein I tried to break (again) my ribs and, this time, hurt my arm (probably because I haven’t been swimming like I was before my 2018 crash, and thus, my upper body is far weaker and dainty, with less fat insulation at my shoulders than lower down. It kind of feels like a ligament attachment is loose (or strained or something) and doesn’t like being made to work. It’s better than it was (the accident was last week Tuesday, about 11 days ago). I have pondered if I chipped the bone or something like that as it doesn’t really feel like a tendon per se.
