Mikell and I headed out to the open lands east of Inca Dr. and rode around on the trails there. After playing around in the flatlands for a while, we began a gradual ascent towards Pilot Hill (we definitely just made it to the foothills). I was afraid that it might be too much since I haven't been on my mt. bike in ages, but it actually was just fine. There could have been fewer rocks on the trails, but I managed just fine. And the downhill all of the way back to Inca was so much fun!

An early evening run at Happy Jack. It was beautiful and felt so good to be outside.



COWS!!

I was out vetting controls for the Manitou Lake meet in a few weeks. I'll be in Scotland, so I told Galen I would vet the courses on paper and in the woods. Unfortunately, I was not feeling 100% when I woke up and so was waffling on whether I would even go. I tried to see if Jim Baker would vet them, since he lives in Woodland Park, but I didn't get an answer soon enough, so I headed out.

On top of the late start, I hit a massive amount of traffic from folks heading to the Renaissance Fair, so I was even further delayed. Once I started out in the woods, I decided I would do as much as I could before I had to head home for my Botanic Gardens shift in the evening. As I moved through the controls, I began to think I might be able to get them all done, after all, but then the dark clouds moved in. The rain was fine, I don't mind getting wet, but when it started to thunder and lightning, that's where I draw the line. So, I got about half of them done, and Jim will do the rest next weekend.

Before the storms moved in, it was a beautiful day. Although, you can see here the clouds over Pike's Peak:



And the wildflowers were still abundant and beautiful:
