Temperature Changes

Last week was beautiful – in the 60’s and 70’s and sunny.  We decided to take advantage of it a couple of days, knowing that the temps were going to change radically this weekend.

So Wednesday we took our mountain bikes to Standley Lake.  I have to get comfortable on these beginner trails before we try anything more aggressive.  Plus, we didn’t have that much time and Standley is close by with pretty views of the mountains.

Plus, I love the Prairie Dogs that call this park home…

Look!  A beach…

Then on Thursday we took a road bike ride along the Ralston Creek trail and tackled the Arvada Reservoir twice (down the switchbacks, then turned around and rode up).  It was a gorgeous day in the mid-70’s…hard to imagine that the next day was going to look like this:

….Kids playing pee-wee football in the snow.  We got several inches Friday night and then more late Saturday.

Ok, time for me to run now – Andy and I are going out to play in the snow.  Darn, I wish we still had our sand-saucers…they’d make great sleds right now.
