My Colorado Riding Club is Fantastic

I am heading to Colorado next week and asked the Club Hypoxia folks if they had any rides planned for the weekend. So they created the following ride on bikejournal. No wonder I would like to move to Colorado. Five signed up so far, but there will be several others coming. Wow, I am soooo fired up for this. I averaged a record 21mph at the 22 mile Paper Clip peloton ride tonight.

Club Hypoxia Quest For Cinnamon Rolls, Colorful Aspen, & Bugling Elk
Saturday, 10/6/2007
Location: Loveland, Colorado
Max Distance: 70.0 mi

Beginning in Loveland at 9 a.m., from The Dam Store at the mouth of Big Thompson Canyon, we'll climb the canyon to Drake, hang a right, keep our eyes peeled for the yellows, oranges, and reds of aspen, stop for a cinnamon roll fix in Glen Haven, tackle Devil's Gulch together with our sugar buzz, glide into Estes Park for lunch where we will listen for elk bugling (or just munching the grass around the town library), and then discuss whether we want to ride up into Rocky Mountain National Park via Fall River Entrance Station to Horseshoe Park which should be particularly beautiful this time of year (Park admission is $5 for bicycles).

If you can find a camera with a shutter speed fast enough to match your MPH, takes some pictures for your readers.

Two-months ago I took delivery of a new bike from Colorado Cyclist. If you have a chance, stop in there and tell them they make a damn nice bike for the price.
