Most couples would spend the day doing something romantic, right? We, on the other hand, go for a 34-mile bike ride. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Fourteen years, and I’m still happy to say that Andy is my best friend and the love of my life.
We have a lot of the same interests and enjoy doing it together. So spending a few hours biking around town was a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary.
We rode the Clear Creek Trail east, then connected to the Ralston Creek trail northwest, before riding south on some designated bike routes back to the Clear Creek Trail to make it a loop ride.
Most of this was “new territory” for us. I’m hoping that biking these trails will help improve my biking – in Florida we’re not used to curvy roads and hills. The Creek Trails are quite curvy as they zigzag back and forth over the creeks. At the western end of Ralston we got to tackle the hills around the Arvada Reservoir. A couple of laps around that reservoir would be great hill practice for me.
After we reached the Clear Creek Trail near Golden, Andy realized that we were only three miles from our favorite local microbrewery – Golden City Brewery. So off we went – in the opposite direction! He always lies, too, saying he’s just going to get “one beer”. Yesterday, we ended up with “one”. But it was one pitcher. Cheers!

Happy Anniversary! You two are very special. Health, Love, Happiness to you. The $ will come.
Thanks Jim! You two are our inspiration - making money at doing what you love. It'll happen for us as well, we just have to change tactics for awhile. As long as I can keep exploring, I'll be happy. Hugz.
