Outside Canon City













Shelf Road: check it out for a variety of exhilerating climbs.












Red Canyon Park: after our bike ride, Katie and Becca enjoy the mixture of sun and rain.










Sun+rain=beautiful rainbows.
Amazingly, this rainbow was not visible with sunglasses.

Tip for life #1: If you want to see a rainbow (hope), take off your glasses (dark-colored, negative perspective).












Tip #2: Never lick a cactus popsicle.

Tip #3: If you're in Canon City, definitely check out the stunning scenery at Red Canyon and take a couple friends.

That picture of me with Becca...seriously, what it that look on my face, not to mention the posture? Hilarious. Good life lesson on the sunglasses. That was pretty funny.

We'll have to head back down there sometime soon and get a really long ride in. Maybe camp in the red canyon area and then ride to Cripple Creek?

Looks like falling (while climbing, OR riding?) might have serious consequenses. Maybe klerch already got a Taste of that? Ha!
