Anybody ride the Colorado trail? We're thinking about going somewhere to ride this summer. Don't plan to do the whole enchilada w the groms, but sections.

Open to other suggestions, too. Wife would rather scenic rides, as opposed to bike park/resorts.

We were in SW Colorado a while back. Durango has tons of riding, and outside of Cortez is Phil's World, which is pretty fun and good for the family. Mesa Verde National Park is nearby and worth checking out.

Check out Flagstaff too. Sedona will be too hot in summer, but Flag is at 7000' so stays cooler.

Dealing with a professor right now who pushed his luck.

Got himself ran over, His fault.

Is it worth it? Just buy a Peloton and keep the roads free,,,
Had a surgeon. Top of his game. Was going to slice me up. He was a Pelotard, He got run over, My surgery got downloaded to this Amazing Indian gal. Absolutely No ReGrets, !00%+ better than thePelotard. Peace Profound.

super glue is great when you want to keep the ends of your bar tape down at the end points.

If you pass through Breckenridge (the CO Trail does) I'd be happy to do a ride with you or offer suggestions.

better yet, learn how to wrap tape properly...
Protip: you flip directions when you cross over the brake hoods:

Yeah, yeah, I've done it and it's been fine. But I've found that it's one of the few things I have the shop do.

Are endurance bikes the NSP/Wavestorms of the lycra'd up Doctor set?
:poop:

Not at all.
It's just a more relaxed geometry than 99% of the road bikes and you can ride dirt on it and fit knobbies too. It's light and fast and best value for money currently.

I've had steel road bikes almost exclusively for the past 20 + years and I ain't going back.

It's like stepping from the thruster potato chip to
a keel fish or mini-simmons.

And also, people think I'm a dentist, aparently. Win - win.
