That's funny cause the beds in this hole are way too small. More like a cot than a bed. Looking forward to switching hotels tonight. The new one is in the city center has much better access right out the door to the sites that you want to see. The only draw back is the 15 minute metro ride from the conference but hey, that's kind of fun and novel.

Rolling lessons for Leah, eh! That's great. I hope she enjoys it. Kelly is bailing, I take it. Too bad - she's really capable. ENjoy the hike! Should be really nice up there!

My kangaroo presentation is on Friday. Yesterday was the workshop, today I split a presentation with Pat on COMET's current state of affairs, Thurs I lead a round table discussion on formatting traininig for mobile devices and I have a poster session to show off lots of COMET stuff.

Hi Honey,
Good talking to you today. We got Laura certified to belay and I got to cruise one climb, a 5.10-. Most importantly, the Rock Club has AC.
Leah had fun at the Humane Society camp, and knows a lot of the kids there from violin, southern hills, etc. They had a reptile guy who brought in snakes and lizards. Tomorrow, Kelly and I will probably head up to Lake Isabelle after we drop off Leah. Do you present again? Did you do the one with the Kangaroo yet? How did it go? Miss you; the bed seems too big! I work Wednesday and Thursday. Keep in touch.
Love,
Rachel

Yeah, forget the heart attach thing. Life is fine over here and all will be fine.

Just got back from a Morrissey concert. What a blast!!! It was a small concert hall at the university with no more than 2000 bopping on the floor. The band was great! Much better live than on their winy albums. Really high energy and full on rocking by the band. I think the audience's energy surprised the band as you could tell that they were really digging it. What a blast.

Early show for the old geezers, started at 8 and done by 10:30. We strolled through the old city center to catch the metro back to the hotel.

I'll get the new hotel's info to you tomorrow eve, after I check in.

Hi Honey,
I talked with Tania at Boulder Travel and she said that that rule is only for travel to Mexico, so we should be fine with the form you signed.
I will try to stop having heart attacks!!!!
Love,

Great Divide Mountain Bike Route 2020 - Gear List

The summer of covid, the summer of people avoidance. Thus we spent July riding the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR) from Boulder to Helena, Montana. Here's the route we took: (view the route details on RideWithGPS) It was super fun to start from home and catch a bus up to Nederland to kick off the ride. From there, a big ride up Rollins Pass and a day of dirt roads heading west from Winter Park brought us to the GMBDR near Ute Pass. A mellow pace, 1,152 miles and 82,373ft of elevation gain got us to Helena over 28 days. We spotted bears, moose, golden and bald eagles, a couple of badgers and a couple dozen fellow GDMBR riders along the way (all heading the opposite direction, north to south). And loads of wildflowers everywhere! We're so very privileged to have so much open space and beautiful landscapes to explore - and the time and health to make it happen. Here's my gear list: Bike Salsa Fargo Apex 1, 2020 edition ( details ) 1x32 with 11-42 in rear for me and 1...

New bike: 2020 Salsa Fargo Apex 1

-

With the world closed off by corona, it's a good year to stick to the Rocky Mountains and ride the Divide. So we bought a pair of matching Salsa Fargo's to handle the dirt riding. Should be a good replacement for the old Vaya for future world travels. Wish I would have had it for Patagonia. More specs at  https://www.salsacycles.com/bikes/2020_fargo_apex_1

Bikepacking gravel roads around the Cloud Peak Wilderness in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming

-

Here's a 7-day gravel ride we rode in early August, 2021. Yet another fine escape from the crowds! Stout climbs, smooth gravel, diverse ecosystems, undeveloped camping for all but one night.  We started and ended in Shell, Wyoming, parking on a side street after getting the OK by the cook at the Trapper Creek Lodge to leave our van there. The route took us all the way around the Cloud Peak Wilderness in the Big Horn Mountains. This mountain range is surrounded by fairly dry, high desert sage country. We yo-yoed up and down, into and out of the dry sage to the piney alpine three times over the 250 odd miles. Big, stout climbs and long, steep descents!  75+% of the route is on hard-pack dirt and gravel. There's a short 6 miles or so of more rugged riding past Medicine Lodge Lake on Forest Service Road 344, which is more of a motorcycle/ATV trail. And a mile or so of sandy single track just before dropping into Medicine Lodge Archaeological State Park. Both of these stretches wer...
