Hello and Goodbye from Denver



Howdy folks.

Today, Wednesday July 16 at 12:50 Mountain time we finally have the blog back up to date, at least up until we made our arrival in Denver. As Luke mentioned on Day 26, we would not be blogging extensively about our time in Denver because we need the down time and we had to play catch up on the previous 6 days of blog.

Anyway. We have been having a great time in Denver and will be leaving this morning (day 27) around 10:00, riding 60 miles to Fort Collins Colorado.

Below are pictures of the Denver hiatus through Sam's Nikon lens.


Zach (Sam's brother and Denver host) shows the trio the view
from the apartment building's communal patio.


Luke releases some queer inner skier jacked up on cocaine

Heading out to drive around in the mountains and gain a couple
thousand feet of elevation.

first stop was Red Rocks Amphitheater, looking east.

Echo lake at 11,000 feet


Making the descent we see all kinds of brave cyclists


Cookout map showoff. Thank you all for making
the cookout so damn good. Good food, good people.


Zach singing Beck's Nicotine and Gravy, while
sporting his newly fashioned mustache. Join the club!

Nick and Luke pose at a stoplight. Biking round
the city was a treat. No panniers.The illustrious Lowell Pepple. My cousin.




Well, our time here has been very relaxing and fun-filled. We owe a lot of people thanks. Scott and Bronwyn Pepple. You guys have been tremendously gracious and we love you. Zach Pepple. Thanks for everything. Love you brother. Hopefully soon we will post a picture of the map. Damn has that line lengthened.


Cheers
SAM

Good luck in the mountains. Recieved Jake's card of thanks. It is I who should thank the three of you for allowing me to be part of your adventure through this blog.

We miss you guys back here in Denver. Thanks for spending time with us, wish we could be going with you. Oh yeah, that house that I didn't think that we were going to get, we got - we move in on the 15th of September.
