Lakewood-Denver-Lakewood



The recap
Four riders set forth on the first ever L-D-L. We left the house packing PBR and a full Surly flask.

Edgewater Inn - Scooners of Coors Light and pizza! Hydrations and fortification.
Three Dogs Tavern in Highland Square - didn't make it there but stopped off at another pub (Meade St?) for a pint of Guiness.
Protos - Eleven Dollar pitchers of PBR, I believe that is some kind of crime.
Ironworks Brewery - Smoky! not smokin' with live music Lakewood style. A beer that bothered me like ragweed in the fall.

Twenty-five miles of pure fun. Look for a winter version coming soon.

Peace,
L-D-L mgmt

Snow arrived

The snow arrived earlier in the week which forced me to don the running shoes and slog through it. The running wasn't all that bad, but my body is just not ready to commit to a full schedule of running and that winter regiment. I do have to say this winter will be easier to muddle through this year with the prospect of a good spring cycling season ahead. The last few months I have found that commitment to a routine of cycling that has been lacking since moving to CO.

Only a month or so before the weekends will be filled with skiing and snowshoeing. First I must finish out my cycling season with some solid 'cross races.

Time for lunges in preparation for deep powdered tele turns......
