It was Gene and a hearty group of 12 that headed out to Meridian on this "iffy" day of forecast sun, wind, clouds and possible moisture. It started out great as the group arrived strong in Meridian Park and most chose to add a lap around as well. It was when they headed back to the shop that Mother Nature's forces took a turn. The group battled headwinds and a god 15+ degree drop in temps. All held strong, some branched off to head home through CC reservoir and the rest arrived safe at the store and glad to be done! Great job everyone.

Recap: February 2nd - Denver Triangle
This ride symbolizes "why we live in Colorado". While brisk at the start it evolved into a beautiful day, with clear blue sky and the temps climbed to near 50. Not bad for Groundhog's Day!
Fifteen people participated in a mixed intermediate/recreational ride lead by Gene and Jeffrey. We did one of the variations on the Denver Triangle route, this one includes the plunge down through Cherry Hills where we all can feel fast even in mid-winter. We rode along the Platte River trail to Confluence Park. There, part of the group followed Gene to Denver's Bicycle Cafe for coffee and the remainder continued on the Cherry Creek path with Jeffrey. There was still ice patches in the shady spots under the overpasses - and in a few places quite a bit. Jeffrey's group all stayed upright, though one unnamed rider did an amazing bicycle ballet, pivoting 180 degrees while getting a foot down and ending upright and facing down the trail! Woo-hoo!

Angie was beside herself with the opportunity to be back in the saddle after a recent run-in with a vehicle. While her bike visits possible repairs BV pulled together and smoked a deal to get her back on the road. Angie hasn't ridden or exercised for over a month and according to Tony...she STILL smoked him!!!
We are so glad to have Angie back with us and look forward to many more miles with her.
