Dan got home early last night so we headed out on the XC bikes for a spin on the open space trails near our house. We got to the point where we usually turn around and head back but we still had a lot of daylight left so we decided to go further, then further and further until we found ourselves at Marshall Mesa. With the sun just starting to set behind the foothills, we decided to go further and do our normal loop there. It was just one of those days we just couldn't get off our bikes, it felt so good to be out after work (a rarity these days), in shorts, just riding! We ended up getting caught in the dark on the way home but since we were just riding open space trails that weren't in the woods or trees and with an almost full moon popping out it wasn't that bad.
I love spring, the time change, the warmer weather....just feels good.
Today it's supposed to be in the 60's and I hope to get an hour ride in at lunch on the CX bike but their calling for high winds in Boulder (gee, imagine that) so we'll see. If it's too windy, I'll just go for a run.
Dan's going to Sunlight Fri/Sat for a snow bike race but I decided to stay home and have the house to myself. Hopefully the weather won't be as crappy as predicted on Saturday so I can get a nice long ride in somewhere.
Happy first day of spring today! It only gets better from here on out :) Maybe tonight a full moon ride....
The pic isn't one that we took, I just found it and thought it looked like the perfect warm spring sunset.
