Nice going Cheri - welcome to the SW

Here's something you might want to do...

Tell b/f about easy ride...
Load up car with bikes
Head west on i-70
Take Idaho Springs exit
Unload bikes and begin riding
Ride south on 103 for 15 miles
Take Mount Evans Scenic Road
Ride for 15 miles to summit

Now that is as cool a view as you'll get in the eastern half of the Front Range
