Colorado wrap up
So, I finished up my first Colorado swing of the year in style, in Boulder. I did a work swing into Grand Junction, Denver, Colorado Springs and Boulder. Good times. A buddy flew in to Denver to visit family and then spent a few days with me. We tied it on a few nights and even found a dance floor on a Tuesday night. Rowdy’s in, Colorado Springs, is a good spot for cheap beer and good tunes. Careful though, looks like some fights could break out… Even closed the night out with some country line dancing. Shhh, don’t tell anyone. I got to see a few good shops and Pedro’s is popular in Colorado, so it’s always nice to see our stuff on the walls and work benches. The only negative to Colorado would be the food poisoning I picked up in the Springs. Not fun being uncomfortable (if you know what I mean) from 6am-3pm. Went to the grocery store after the vomiting stopped and walked, er shuffled, around like an old man looking for fluids. Good times. Here are some shop highlights:
Campus Cycles in Denver loves Pedro's!
If you're in the Springs, stop by Left Side Ride. You won't find any Dura-ace, but you'll get straight up honest talk about downtown and local Springs businesses. You'll find some sweet tee's and shoes too. I scored a pair of sparkle silver Vans. Pimp.
Wanna convert your bike shop into an enviro friendly self power producing machine? Talk to Old Town, also in the Springs.
This is the meter that tells the shop how much energy they are harnessing.
Finished up the week with a 3.5hr ride in Boulder with the Saturday ladies ride. Nice. Fred Dreier of Velonews was out there too. We were like, "one of the girls." They whooped me as we climbed left hand canyon for most of the day. Beers and college basketball closed out the evening and Sunday I started driving home. The drive home was less than ideal. Worst weather of the year for me driving through Wyoming.
Glad to have made it.
