Expedition
What a fun way to spend the morning! It ended up being about a four and a half hour bike ride over about 30 miles.
I planned my route so that I could cross the pedestrian footbridge on Denver's D2 Bike Route. It's one of the neatest spots around. It's always so windy up there. Next time I get the opportunity to, I should bring my kite and fly it off the top of the bridge. This is me discovering it late 2009.
Later, on the other side of town, I got on trail system and followed Clear Creek, which I've ridden plenty of times, and Ralston Creek, which I had never ridden.
Snatched a few photos of a small dam along the way, and had to detour around Creek Side Park in Arvada. Closed for construction.
Arrived at the hashsite with little trouble, stopped to hydrate and have a snack. I tried to tweet my location, but it didn't get very specific.
I backtracked and continued up north to the Clear Creek/South Platte River Confluence before turning back home.
Good ride!
TNLN, Thanks for the hash!

This detour is brought to you by the Recover Act. (Socialism ruins my ride.)
The pin falls right next to the gnarly tree.

I have positioned my blue dot beneath the red pin!
Gnarly tree is gnarly
In which I look like I've been cycling for several hours.
