Downtown Denver

Anybody ever sees me in spandex, they have my permission, no, my plea, to shoot me.
 
Great pic's to go along with a great outting! I have made 4 round trips from Greeley to Thornton, Next time we gotta hook up and go for a ride. Currently mine is on saw horses waiting for new rims and spokes,got the new hubs today.

Still those are awsome pics and the weather looked perfect for you.

Papa,at this point it would even be nice if I can run over to JB's for some homemade root beer and take some pics!
With our ever busy lives,I know someday we'll meet up.
It would be nice to get a gathering going with Dwane from Dax,that guy in Parker and that other guy in Loveland.
I wonder if it would even be probable.

LP, I happen to think you would look GREAT in pink Spandex. Older large guys dressed, uh unconventionaly goes well with this activity. Nice pictures and a great adventure. Keep on traveling. I use the pedals a lot with my scrubber and it makes the exercise seem irrelevant. I am burning 2 gallons or more of fuel per week. With the surgery and this acitvity you will be in great shape. Besides ignoring snobby Starbuckers is worth 25 miles of unassisted pedaling. Keep it up!
 
I bet I would be more accepted. Yes. I will check this out!
I like to make friends....
 
Dude Large!
What an awesome ride. I can imagine how much fun that was:D
Great pics. It's good to put a face with a name. It's fun to see some one with that same smile/grin.
Now you have 4 more trails to choose from.

I plan on taking those trails all the way to the end,especially the one going south. I want to see just how far south it goes. Map says after Mile High Stadium it's another 50 or so miles of bike trails. That's insane. I'll definetly need some pre mix for that run.
There's another fork that goes thru downtown heading east. I took that a good way another day but didn't have a camera. Homeless hang out there in droves and yet it's a high class area. Preppy guys and ladies on their bikes travel this way all the time.
I need to take this run this Friday. I'll bring my camera along. Where my destination will be is 30 miles by car,about the same by bike.

To get a grasp on how insane the trail system here is check out these sites:

Once a month I turn in paperwork for my host home guy. He goes to day program in the morning so I have from 7:30am to 2:00 pm to fiddle around. So because I can and to save some serious gas,I take Moop.
It's a 60 mile round trip and it was beautiful out.
The bad thing about the weather is I get more roadies out there. But it's cool. When I get within 20 feet from a breathing moving thing I shut her down and pedal. I need the excersise. It's cool.
This one roadie I'm pedaling by him and he shakes his finger at me. Dude.
I'm probably older than you. Respect ma authority!!
Anyway,too many pics here. Basically from the starbucks I take speer Boulevard to my destination. I past downtown those statues are from the convention center,yes those bridges are that low yes you get that close below that train,Cherry Creek mall ritsy neighborhood bike trail runs right into it then another 5 or so miles and I'm at my destination. A good part of Speer trail one side is for pedestrians only and the other side is for roadies,skaters and anything with wheels.
I passed a bicycle cop today. He just waved at me. I wanted to tell him about Mr. Fingerwave. I decided not to.
I still haven't taken this trail towards Golden and the mountains yet. I will soon.
