Friday was a good start--went with Mystic and a group of human/canine pals for a post-work hike of Green Mountain here in town. Saturday was mostly tuning up the new bike (woo-hoo!) and taking Mystic to his favorite doggy place in the world, Dry Creek dog park in Boulder.
Sunday was the inaugural ride on the new bike, a double loop up at Walker Ranch in Boulder. All I can say is the new bike is like a whole different experience--it was so light and nimble, it was as if I was piloting a ride made of cotton candy. I did manage to propel myself over the handlebars once while trying to get used to the ultra-responsive handling, but overall what a blast!
Yesterday was a rare occurrence here in Boulder--a full-fledged rainy day! We get about 7-10 all-out rainy or snowy days a year in town, which translates to less than one a month. Not to be deterred, I was able to sneak in a quick and filthy mtn. bike ride at Heil Ranch.
Rainy days and nights are a rare treat here in Boulder so I ended my holiday relaxing with Xanadu and Mystic in front of the TV and watching sports. The rain came down is assorted bursts and lightning added some magic to the night sky---very nice! It's one more busy week here as I have two more presentations for my book but a lot of the "work" side of things are winding down and fun is right around the corner!
