Ah, yes we love Springtime in Colorado! On May 21st, we went skiing at A-Basin and enjoyed yet another phenominal day with 12-18" of fresh powder then returned to Arvada that night so we could do some biking with our new road bikes the following day! That makes 66 days (so far, and still counting) of skiing this season, and we still plan on skiing into mid-June:) We would have gone biking at Keystone too, but haven't found a ski rack for the mountain bikes yet. Meanwhile, Bradley and his family were enjoying water skiing at Lake McConaughy with Jolene's family.....
Here's Diana enjoying some of the tree runs.....
One couldn't tell by looking at a calendar that Memorial Day weekend is next week!
Over a foot of powder in Montezuma Bowl at A-Basin!
More trees (we spent almost the whole day doing the tree runs just because the snow was so spectacular)!
The following day, we drove our bikes to Confluence Park (Downtown Denver) then headed south along the South Platte River Trail, enjoying the scenery along the way. We saw almost every kind of human powered transportation along the way, including LOTS of other bikers, scooters, skateboarders, roller bladers, and a guy on a unicycle!
Along past Mile High Stadium where U2 had just played the night before....
I counted 4 or 5 golf courses along the trail.
A strategically placed coffee and snack shop at Hudson Gardens that has the best chocolate mocha shakes in the world (or it seemed like it since we had already gone 15 miles at that point).
A really cool miniature train was running behind the coffee shop, too bad the grandkids couldn't have been there!
And our final destination - Chatfield State Park! Now we just had to turn around and ride the 20 miles back to our car:)
