Colorful Colorado

Long time no Blog! Well...we've been busy this summer!

We took a ride up to beautiful Colorado a few weeks ago and had a great time. Lorenzo (aka, Wrong Turn Renzo) and Unica were great company and she was gracious to provide pics for the blog.

The ride was called the 100,000 foot (vertical) ride through the mountain passes of Colorado. One rides through many high altitude passes and admire God's handy work. A highlight was riding through Rocky Mountain National Park...FANTASTIC!!

Here is the clan posing within the park boundries. I love to take pictures when using the camera timer. It's always a hoot to have someone run back to get into the picture and creates a natural laughing pose.




We stopped for lunch with all the other riders in...well, I guess I don't remember where. Oh, well. I do remember it was a good lunch catered by a real nice lady who said we could have seconds on the pasta, but only one cookie!! Rats!!


So here we are entering the park and I wanted to take Lorenzo and Unica's picture, but...they had the camera. No problem. Lorenzo tossed me the camera from about 20 feet away! But...it was Unica's camera!! Anyway, nice shot.



When we arrived at the crest of Timber Ridge Road we were treated to a huge herd of bull elk lounging in the cool tempertature.




Unica tried her hand at some trick photography--taking a picture backwards--while riding towards a summit.



Smoochie, smoochie at the top of a pass.



Even more smoochie, smoochie.


Gee we had a great time and this could be an annual event!!
