Reo's First 2 14ers

Ride around the City

First real ride on the road in Colorado Springs. Much different than rural central IL roads.  It went better than I expected. Some amazing wildlife and views!

Dodging afternoon thunderstorms!

Smoke n Brew & Pickleball

Yesterday we headed up to Evergreen to see my cousin Steve and enjoy some home brews and BBQ. It was great to see some extended family as well as meet some new people. We even had a little private concert courtesy of Bill Poss. 

Pickleball was my favorite activity in high school PE. I've continued to play a few times a year since then. Fortunately, it's also a favorite sport of people in Colorado. So my brother in law and I headed out to check out the courts yesterday. We also played today... So much fun, and amazing outdoor courts in the shadow of Pikes Peak. So good being back in Colorado!

Great month of riding!

Oak Creek

Had a great ride this morning through the tiny town of Oak Creek. Not much to see there... Just a sleepy little town on Colorado 131. 

Met a Local

Named Jeff who took me for an amazing mountain bike ride! 25 miles of amazing trails!!! So good to be in the mountain bike a few days a week!

Botanical Gardens and visitors

Natalie and Lindy attended an event at the botanical garden here in town. Lindy even got to plant her own flower! Then Mark and Amanda showed up with Tiffany and Carter for lunch and slack lining!
