Reasons why Colorado is way better than the East Coast
Here was my day yesterday:
- Worked for three hours
- Went to REI got some biking stuff
- Went to work again to meet up with co-workers to go riding on the Academy
- Got delayed by awesome thunderstorm
- Went riding on Falcon Trail (14 mile singletrack, pretty sweet..on the AF Academy Grounds)
- Sub bullet : Said rainstorm filled previously dry creek bed, totally took a spill and ended up in nasty river, but was still awesome
- Grilled w/ guys and enjoyed 60 degree night w/ clear skies and stars


Here was my today:

- Woke up because I was kinda cold (had all the windows open)
- Made some coffee and sat on the balcony and watched the clouds over the peak
- Scott came over, we fixed my bike (chain was a little jacked form my spill yesterday)
- Went to homebrew store, got stuff to make beer tomorrow
- Scott and I loaded up bikes and drove to Garden of the Gods...easy riding but awesome viewes (including Rattlesnake on trail)!
- After riding, drove to Manitou Springs and went to best bar in the world (they make tea and cofffee too)
- Drank from spring w/ natural Lithium deposits
- Drank several good pints
- Got pizza from down the street and took it back to the bar
- Listened to some girl from Boulder play folk music for two hours
- Now sitting on back steps drinking awesome Colorado beer watching probably the coolest thunderstorm ever


And since words are probably inferior to pictures, this is the type of scenery we saw while riding both days:
