The strange route of overlapping loops is explained like this: I rode to the start of the DBTC group ride from home, did that ride with them (followed by a very enjoyable social lunch break that lasted most of the rest of the sunlight), followed by a ride home, where I finally got to try out my new helmet light for the last hour.

I knew i would do something with that horse-picture after i took it. I didn't know what yet. But i had 40 more miles to figure it out. -- Taking Christmas themed pictures around here always ends up looking more appropriate for Halloween.

I thought this would be a christmas photo (more likely pseudo-christmas) photo ride into Denver. But i ended up only taking a single photo.

Moderately strong downslope winds made for a slow ride back. I have to say "moderately" to leave enough room on the upper end for the real downslope winds in the spring. But i'm not complaining. That's what made the snow melt in a couple of days. -partially unpaved. -first time on the short trail to Henderson Hill in RMtnA .NWR. That wasn't there, last time i was. The only part of the route i would not recommend is the way around the east side of the wildlife area. The northern end of Gun Club road has turned into suburban nightmare. There must be a better way to connect to Sand Creek Trail.

the day before the first real snow: paved bike trails, suburban streets and single track trail on Green Mtn - slow return due to a leaky rear tube. More often than not, it takes about a week for it to melt completely.

I've been wanting to go EAST for a while now. But -- this time of the year, I also don't want to miss the last chance to get one more mountain ride in. And that means going WEST. Today I went EAST.

There are links to several of the summits on this loop in the comments. I know i said it before, but only once this year as far as i know: Fall has the best light for taking far mountain pictures. -Denver's quasi-gravel-summit: Grapevine Rd has been resanded and is in reasonably poor condition, but only for a short distance on the northern side. -Somehow surprisingly cold at 8200ft (2500 meters!) , considering that there is still only a hint of snow even at 14000ft.

The C470 bike path has a bunch of new bridges and underpasses (at least they are new to me). I actually remember only 1 cross street that required stopping. Too bad the nearness to the noise barrier also acts as a sun shield, and in the winter months the path has more snow than the streets. But then again, maybe there won't be a winter this year here. But it always seems that way this time of year.
