Hey Cheri! I did get out for a ride Saturday, it was great to be out despite the wind. I'm glad the sand on the sides of the roads wasn't too bad. Yet.

So you went up Boulder Canyon? Some of the best hiking in the state is up just west of Nederland at the top of the canyon. Its my favorite place to go in the summer. Usually just driving up to the higher altitude won't make you sick, it might have been the roads. Exercising at the high altitudes it what you have to watch out for. But now that you've been here a few weeks you should be fine. It only takes a couple of weeks for your blood cell production to step up.

I'm jealous you live so close to the REI flagship store. I love that place. I could spend days there. And if we lived that close we would spend all of our paychecks there. The Boulder store is just not the same . . .
