It was 37 degrees when I left the condo this morning. Cold mornings like today make for chilly rides. In spite of the cold I do enjoy the short ride. And, the Earl Gray tea at Mugs hits the spot. This image is taken outside the front door of the coffee shop just after the sun has risen. The older buildings are a part of CSU campus.
I’m getting accustomed to using the bicycle as my primary mode of transportation now. I used the bicycle to meet my oldest daughter for lunch today, about a ten mile round trip. Again, I took the bike trail so I’m not dealing with traffic. They have built tunnels under the major north south bound roads so I needed to only cross one busy road, which has a crosswalk light. These trails also keep me connected with nature, where I get to experience the beauty of our fall season.

You are lucky to live in a beautiful, bike-friendly town. Where I live, I’d be hit and run over in less than a mile. Haha! 😉
Nice early morning photo!

Yes, I am very lucky. And it continues to become more bike friendly. After saying that, there are certain roads in this town I will not ride on because they are not designed for bicyclists. I will continue to use the bike lanes and the bike trails. And today has been an absolutely stunning fall day in Colorado.
