Me: Colorado 14'er Prep.
Bob and I are heading to Colorado on Monday. We'll be in Aspen & surrounding area for a couple weeks. We are looking forward to relaxing, hanging out with friends & family and hiking some 14'ers! Today I did some Colorado prep: packing our tent, sleeping bags and making summit signs for the mountain peaks we hope to bag.

Today's highlights:  
- I did my first "real" bike ride since hand surgery. 30 miles! The hand still hurts & has a good bit of healing to go but it sure was nice to be pedaling again!
- Bob has 3 Phoenix layovers this week so he was home today, he's back tonight and is here all day tomorrow!
Today's lowlight
- It's reeeeeaaally HOT! I think it was 114 degrees today. Ugh. Another reason to be excited about Colorado.

  1. With those high temps I know you are anxiously waiting to go to CO. Can't wait to hear about your climbs...especially Maroon Bells, and Pike's Peak...we drove to the top of Pike's Peak which was a challenge...can't imagine hiking it. It was so windy at the top that it took our breath away!
