Forty thru Forty-Six: Intermission (Boulder)

Miles: 40
Total: 2,727

I spent a nice week off the TransAm in Boulder with my sister and Arthur (thanks for having us!) and Sara flew out from Pittsburgh to visit, too. It meant a lot to me — thanks. We rode bikes around town, and even a longer sortie to Longmont where we found Oskar Blues’ brewery and restaurant. I sent a few things back with Sara: all the maps and addenda east of Pueblo, my transistor radio, watch and a few pieces of clothing. I added a used GoLite jacket to my load in preparation for the cold nights. I also replaced my chain, which stretched beyond 0.75-percent, adjusted my brakes and front derailleur. But mostly we wandered around Boulder and ate and drank too much. Hedonism agrees with me.

Set phasers to awesome.
Megan wouldn’t buy me Star Trek Settlers.
Looking down at Boulder.
Flatiron rockslide.
Fresh, fresh tortillas.
There’s still work to be done.
Consider yourself summited, Flatiron I.
The trailhead starts in Chautauqua Park.
Spotted on a mountain bike/ski trail in Breckenridge.
And put all these candles on in. Let’s play a game: Wax or Ganache?
Megan made me a super-chocolate cake.
Foreground: RR’s Pliny the Elder.
Or end up in the pines.
Not native — spotted along Boulder Creek.
