Sunday: Swim/Ride

Swim: 1:00 3000 yards, Evergreen
Ride: 2:40 26 miles, Bear Creek/Green Mt. on Mt. bikes.

Andy and I both had great swims this morning, I was up here in Evergreen and Andy swam down in Lakewood after getting off work this morning. We both met back at the house and waited for it to warm up a bit before heading back down the hill to Morrison to start our bike ride. I had wanted to ride Mt. bikes and Andy was up for that so I was happy:) I wanted him to show me the Mt. bike race course at Bear Creek. There is a 50 mile race, 5 loops of a 10 mile course, in May and I wasn't sure about the exact trail. I know all the trails out there like the back of my hand and there are a lot more than 10 miles worth so I wanted to make sure I was on the correct course.

We rode for just a little over an hour in the park and then headed over to Green Mt.to do a big loop where we did a fair amount of climbing.

The trails were packed today, it was so good to see so many people out enjoying the 65 degree weather, especially for the first of March. Our trails are NEVER this dry so early in the season. It's going to be an interesting summer if we don't get some moisture around here soon. The mountains seem to be getting adequate snow but I don't remember the last time we had a good dumping of the white stuff here in Denver (or Evergreen for that matter)...maybe early December??
