Happy Holidays You Big Beautiful World

It always amazes me when I return to Denver how quickly I lose sight of the greater world there is to explore outside the confines of I-70 and I-25. Especially at this time of the year when the focus turns to friends and family and celebrating the holidays I forget the feeling of being out THERE with the wind at my back and the sun (or more likely the rain) in my face and the sheer wonderment as to what is around the next corner or over the next rise. Fortunately the weather this year has allowed me to get out and indulge the urge to get on a saddle and turn the pedals. Yet doing so only whets my appetite to do more.

For any of you who have ever ridden a bike, wanted to, or heck, even if you just know someone who loves to ride, my Holiday gift to you is the following link .

Especially if you are stuck in a cube, or sitting watching the snow dreaming of sunnier days to come, read some of the stories, watch some of the videos, and be amazed anew at what this big beautiful world has to offer if we just get out there. There’s even hiking and sea kayaking if biking is not your thing. Regardless of where your passions lie, get out and explore them while you can. As one of the stories drives home, there is not always a tomorrow.

Happy Holidays to all, and may the new year live up to your sense of wonder.
