New (Old) Bike…Rides Great!

Today I got to ride my new (old) bike on bike trails in Denver today!

Erich did a great job with the build and everything is tuned and ready to go. We only did about 17+ miles, but that was enough to get a feel for the bike and I think I’m really going to enjoy riding way too many miles on it.
We drove down from Evergreen and bike on the flat lands of Denver around the Platte River. We were not trying to win any records or exhaust ourselves, just test the bikes.
We ended up back at REI for a few last minute items. I needed a little chafing protection cream and sunscreen…all good now. Erich got some new gloves.

On the way back we went by a park for kids with the oddest climbing structure I’ve seen. Erich calls it an insect…and it looks a bit that way.

Imagine climbing up in to a giant bug…no, no, don’t do that.
The ride was uneventful and we’re back at Erich’s place. I’ve just done a quick meditation and we’ll be having lunch in a bit.
Next up today, a Rockies game and packing for tomorrow when we hit the road for South Dakota.
