Despite having the "big" race tomorrow I decided to keep my legs loose and limber with a quick hike of Estes Cone in Rocky Mountain National Park with Sheila. You can check out the photos here. There aren't many images as it is a relatively short hike (only 6.4 miles round trip with about 1,400 ft. of elevation gain--small potatoes for Colorado!) Still it was a nice day, good views, good company, and almost the same distance as the Bolder Boulder. Since I got back home around 1 PM, I'm going to relax, eat lots of carbohydratey food, watch some MST3K, and attend to Xanadu's every whim. After the race, work on my guidebook begins in earnest, so my legs better prepare to trek many, many, many miles in the days ahead.
