Wednesday, Sept 17th: Cherry Creek Resevoir

34 miles
I went after work, started at 6:15. I think its too late in the year to start a ride this late. It grew dark really early in the ride. Stuff kept falling off my bike (I had a big water bottle and lock badly bungeed to my rear rack). Also on the back half of the resevoir the insects were so thick, I had to hold my hand in front of my face and could feel insects smacking into my hand one or two a second. (brutal!) They stung if they hit my face anywhere near my eyes.

Sunday Sept 14: Cherry Creek Resevoir

34 miles

Fun ride, chilly today: 60 degrees F.

I wore my new New Belgium wool sweater and my knickers and was warm enough. I left the camelbak at home, because I didn't want a sweaty back. I took two water bottles and was fine.

Thursday Sept 11: Back Home from Camping

28 miles
the ride home in the morning was beautiful and laid back, I meandered through BCLP instead of taking Morrison road,
good choice that park is beautiful to trek through
a bit Chilly and sweaty (with the camelbak and jeans) on the way home though

Wednesday Sept 10: Bike Camping

Sub-24 hour Overnight

24 miles

I loaded up the bike with camping gear, headed out the door at 4pm
got another flat on the front tire, other than that a beautiful ride, I love Bear Creek Path and Park.

I Biked to Bear Creek Lake Park via Bear Creek Path and Morrison Road. On Morrison Road with all of the extra weight I had to shift down onto my granny gear and the biggest cog.

Fully loaded the red bike is a bit slow, which added to a fun laid-back trip, bikes passed me and I let them, without a seconds thought to trying to keep pace with them.

Sunday Sept 7: Bear Creek-Morrison Cruise

45 miles

I got a flat on Morrison road, almost turned back as I had no more spares, but I pressed on, it was a lot of fun!

The hill climbing was a good time too!
