Cycling in the Fall

Below are some of the pictures I took on a great mountain bike ride over the mountains to Woodland Park with a couple of guys from work. We had great weather, colors, and fellowship.  Fun in the saddle and sun!

Section 16 Hike

Buffalo Bicycle Classic

77 miles, 6000 feet of climbing, around Boulder, and part of it with Dad...priceless! This was a great ride up Boulder Canyon and around Nederland and Ward. A very pretty area and fun with other cyclists for a good cause.

Labor Day Weekend

This year we decided to go up to the cabin for Labor Day Weekend. We had a lot of fun, especially on the ATV with the kids.  On our way up we went on a short family hike down Rainbow Gulch, which ultimately feeds Rampart Reservoir. As you'll see in the stroller picture at the bottom, it was an entire family affair! The kids also enjoyed collecting pond scum for a few hours on the pond in front of the cabin, but the highlight for them was definitely riding on the ATV. We spent hours a day cruising the back roads and trails.

The Bracelet Business is Good

Jonathan was looking for ways to earn a few dollars so he could buy a toy. I had him make me a bracelet, which he then expanded to selling them to his classmates at school for 25 and 50 cents (the more expensive one has bands that glow in the dark). He created his own order form (description, name, color, etc.) one morning before school. It was fun to watch how excited he was when he finished, fold it up, and put it in his backpack before riding his bike to school.
