Biking - Road

 Road biking from the house today. We went North to 18 road MTB area. Holly had her road bike and I had mountain bike. We rode to the end where the last 5 miles is BLM land and newly paved. Nice road riding! I took a mountain bike trail down. Joes to Mo Joe. I really like this trail. Ridge ride and then a long flow downhill. 25 miles RT. Great ride right from the house since it turns to farm land and little traffic right away. It was a typical summer day today with highs around 95. We went from 8am to 11am and it was completely comfortable with temps rising from 70 to 80.

On the side of 18 road we saw a bike art area. Many bikes in a line and a large bike sculpture.

McInnis Canyons - D4, D3, D1

 We went on the D4 loop at McInnis Canyons today and then took D3 out a ways and then back to D1. Cloudy and nice temperature. At one point it rained medium hard for 10 minutes. We happened to be near an old storage area cave in the rock so we went in there until the rain slowed. Nice hiking temps and good to get a little rain. 

Colorado - Home

 We flew to Colorado with Henry 8/19. While Henry didn't love his first time on a plane he did pretty well. He liked his carrier to be covered and he seemed to do well. When we got to Colorado he recovered quickly although tired as we all were after a long day.

Below are pictures from the Monument Canyon to Wedding Canyon hike we went on 8/21. This was the same hike I went on just before leaving Colorado in May. 

Peregrin Falcon? Large bird!
