That was super fun Durango, so fun in fact I have been laying down for a week and a half just trying to regain my footing in the real world. And since I was laying down and the computer was in the other room I have not been able to post on this here blog, and tell you what fun I had.
What was your favorite part? I had two; first was when that fellow dressed as a traffic cone came into the bike pit and acted like an obsticle, that was pure humor. Then number two, the cruise-ade. Man that parade was fun huh? On the bike path and in the neighborhoods, and how about those little shredders on the really tall unicycles? Those kids were pretty cool. Everybody was so friendly, the people on the sidewalks waving, the police, the cars in traffic…Then when we went through Main Street (I think it was main, but I’m from out-of-town), everybody hootin’ and hollerin’ waving and wishing everybody a happy Saturday, bliss I tell you.
Then after the Tour De Fat yours truely went to the Abbey Theater and saw Paper Bird and March Forth, holy smokes that was the best. I have seen Paper Bird a whole bunch of times this summer and they always impress, but seeing them inside is a totally different feel, real great. Then March Forth did what they do… put on an awe inspiring show (so awe-inspiring in fact I danced, and sweated (seriously, thats a word)). That was fantastic.
Thank you Durango (or should I say FUN-rango) for all the good times.

Oh yeah! Let’s do something useful with this 1997 Saab convertible that’s eating up my garage space. I need more room for bikes! I just moved to Denver from the Bay Area and got myself a house 3.5 miles from my work place just so that I can ride my bike to work. Along the way I can pick up my mail, stop by the bank, pick up groceries (and Fat Tire), and even swing by REI if I need bike stuff. So I’m really trying to live a biking lifestyle. I’ve been riding an older hybrid Bianchi with a beefy rack on the back for the panniers, but I think the angles are wrong for me and it’s been doing a number on my 50-year old knees. So I think I need a new/different bike with different/better attack angles so I don’t blow out my knees and so that I can keep on pedaling forever!
