The place I am now smells like fall. Yellow and white aspens contrast big forest green pine and peaks enclose my new arena. Man. New Mexico was a dump. And now paved bike paths rolling for over 100 miles to the surrounding mountain towns, over copper and vail passes. Rec centers, free shuttles, an outlet mall and the healthiest population I have ever interacted with. And at the small cost of conservative talk radio and a large population of born again christians, I am more or less in my element.
Went for a trail run up Mt. Royal and out to Rainbow lake this morning- just road right to the trail head- I have yet to spend a dime on gasoline!
