The first day in the Fort, we went riding at an area that was burnt last year in a forest fire. The trail was really fun. We spent about 3.5-4 hours riding there. The next day we rode around the Horsetooth Resevoir. That was super fun and we got rained on a little. The third day was spent hiking up to Grey Rock a little north of the Fort. That was fun and hard work. 7.5 miles = 5 hours of hiking. We had to visit a few breweries after that. New Belgium Brewery (Fat Tire) and Odell. The last day we did what is called the town ride since we rode from Gina and Patrick's house. It made for good time! It was a balmy 80 degrees on the last day there. Whew! That was brutal for some of the locals. We ate some great Indian Food at Taj Mahal and went to Choice City Deli and Meat Market for some awesome soup and sandwiches twice... the best ever!!
After the Fort visit, we head down to Denver to help Lisa and Keegan with the 5 day old business they just opened. They are in a great location near downtown and if you're ever in Denver, you have to go. It was fun to help bus tables, take some orders and wash dishes. Man, they work too hard!!! I hope things smooth out for them and they can hire some people to ease their 13-16 hour days, 6 days a week.
Here are some photos. We didn't see any bears or mountain lions, so Nicole was dissappointed.
