r, great pics. Carpets of color.
Thanks, keep'm coming.

It's good to feel sore.
If my legs are sore on Monday morning,
I must have had a great weekend of cycling.

That low impact thing is for real.
My goal in life is to be the oldest guy to
ride the TripleByPass. I have about 15 more
to do, and I'll have the record.

See you on the road.

I had a great one-hour trail run this morning with a real runner who pushed me to my limit up an 1100-ft ascent. It felt good. This would not have been possible without so much help from cpaptalk.com members. Thank you!

We walked down by this waterfall.

We cut through a neighborhood on the drive out this morning. We turned a corner and both of us were pleasantly struck by three gentlemen brushing away furiously at the church door. It looked like they were putting a polyurethane coat on the wooden door and they were intent on what they were doing. For three of them to be in that little space working away speedily, we expected they were close friends.

A little nippy this morning, but by noon it was 60F, sunny and idyllic.

Neat water fall pic.
Your weather must be much like ours.

I did two nice rides this weekend.
Sat. a little sloppy as the snow was melting, but not bad.
Sun. I rode up in Boulder. Roads were dry, 50F, sunny.

It was a beautiful day. Snow still left in the fields.
What a blessing the moisture is heading into winter.
Flatirons looking south.

Fresh snow on Indian Peaks.

What are you covering your legs with for protection from the wind chill?

I hate to wear long pants whether biking or hiking and am considering knee warmers of technical fabric (Pearl Izumi). Asking others, it seems you either love them or hate them. Any experience?

Most rides for cold I wear leg warmers.
They are a nylon/micro-fleece fabric.
Easy on/easy off. I have arm warmers also.
Very versatile. Put them on for early am when it
is cold, easy off after it warms up. They fold up and
easily go in a pocket.
For really cold I have full tights in two different weights.
I have various nylon vests, shells and my camo rain jacket.
Shoe covers in two different weights.
All cold weather gear is polypro and micro-fleece.
Add full gloves, micro-fleece full head/ear band and
if necessary a full nylon hood, I'll ride down to 20F.
It is easy enough to go from 30F to 60F and
back again on a ride and be comfortable.

There is no bad weather.....just improper gear.
