in early december, i helped by sister drive from michigan to boulder, stayed a night or two, and flew back. i did one bike ride while i was there which turned out to be exhausting, mainly because i thought that riding the 9 miles from town to the trailhead would be no big deal. it turned out though, that the 9 miles was all uphill, over the flatirons (the mountain range behind boulder) to be exact, so by the time i got to the trail, i was pretty dead already.
