Have you ever watched the Alfred Hitchcock movie, “The Birds”?

Did it freak you out?

Then you may want to avoid visiting the Strasburg Convenience Store at dusk in the summer… 🙂

Strasburg on Two Wheels

August 30, 2015 by Alan Leave a Comment

Cows doing what I should have been doing on a lazy Sunday afternoon…
Having lived much of my life in hilly areas, I really appreciate (especially as an aging bicyclist) how Strasburg is relatively level. If anything, there may as great a danger you’ll have to downshift from wind as it will be from an incline. 🙂

Five weeks and one day ago I fractured my left elbow at the end of a ride, so it feels great this week to climb back on the bike. It is true that there is less obvious things to take pictures of here than back in New Hampshire, but it definitely isn’t lacking of interesting subjects. You can tell I especially appreciate the cows. 🙂

Do you live in or around Strasburg and use a bicycle? Recommendations for places to ride to? Tips for us newbies to the area?

See you on the road!

Richmil Ranch Open Space

August 18, 2015 by Alan Leave a Comment

Richmil Ranch TrailThis morning, before it got too hot, we headed out to Richmil Ranch Open Space (77910 E. Highway 40, Deer Trail, CO 80105). Minus all the noise from I-70, it’s a great place to connect with nature. I brought a camera to grab pictures, but it was mostly hijacked by my eight year-old, Augie, who gets credit for the photos below.

Not bad (if you ask me) for his first time using my Canon PowerShot G15. 🙂Continue Reading

As our weekend wrapped up, we were treated to this beautiful combination of sundown, clouds, and the moon…
