Hit the CO Trail for the first time this year with Barb. What a great trail! You can never get sick of the climb on this baby. Ran into a few guys who had been at the 12 Hours of Mesa Verde and they were asking for Matt. Since we were stopped, figured we’d ask them to take a photo of us. 
Barb lives closer to this trail and this is her primary stomping grounds. Not too shabby if you ask me!
This time of year is great because the water is running high and you can hear it rushing while your riding up the trail. It’s such a peaceful sound, that you almost forget you’re climbing.
Took a quick snack break at Gudy’s and enjoyed the view. Lots of people out today, but why not? It’s beautiful out! Gotta take advantage of this.
Seasons pass more quickly than you think, as does time and life in general. Enjoy what you have while you have it, and don’t wait to do tomorrow what you can take advantage of today.
That is my favorite “local loop”
Can’t wait to get back there.
