Kenosha Pass / Colorado Trail Mountain Biking

Ron and Jake organized another bike trip this weekend. Saturday they rode downhill at Keystone while I raced at Winter Park. Then on Sunday we road the Colorado Trail starting at Kenosha Pass on Highway 285 and road northwest over the Continental Divide to Breckenridge. It was a great ride and the first part was filled with big views and wild flowers. Once we reached the divide summit, weather was blowing in so we had to skip the last 14 miles of downhill rolling single track. I guess that means we will have to go back some year. ;-)

Mark is having fun in the great outdoors.

Bon Voyage

We have left Bullfrog and are on the water so I imagine cell coverage
will drop and this will be my last post. I'm excited, this is going
to be FUN!!!

Hello Powers

Wow, it's a small world.

While we were loading the houseboat I saw a lady on the dock I
recogonized. It was Lousie from Winter Park and she was also setting
sail today with Graham, Heidi and family. It looks like you missed
this trip Allison but I'm sure you are doing something equally cool.

Bar?

Learning how the bar works and everything else.

Rough

It's going to be rough. I think that's why Mike and Laura have such
big smiles. The houseboat is 73' long, has 5 bedrooms, a nice
kitchen, a big flat screen, a roofside deck with bar, hottub and BBQ.

Good job Jeff. This boat rocks.

Boat comparison

Jeff's boat vs my boat. His has 400hp, can carry 12 people and 20
cases of beer. My boat has 0.01hp, can carry only me and 1 can of beer.

Hi Hi (Goodbye)

There's the plane, our ride home. Flying here from Chicago on SAS was
a pleasure and the flight went quick. Hopefully going home will be
the same.

Besides the pickpocket, my trip was great. Denmark and Sweden are
great countries and I would love to come back. But if I plan to ride
my bike or camp I will wait till summer. We were super lucky and
experienced the warmest, sunniest and driest weather Denmark and
Sweden have seen in 100 years. And today as we prepare to leave the
weather is cool and overcast for the first time in a week.

The lack of useless gift shops is ironic and maybe a fitting
farewell. I don't know if it was hard to find gift shops and tshirt
shops because summer wasn't yet here or because it's something the
Danes and Swedes don't do compared to Americans. I think it's the
latter but either way I hit the airport hoping to find a tshirt and
some other gifts. But to my surprise I couldn't even find a gift
store at the airport.

Instead the international departure terminal was full of alcohol,
perfume, clothes and even a nice lingere display. Why worry about
worthless junk when you can look and feel good with good drinks and
nice clothes.

Hi Hi, Maan Tak (goodbye, thank you very much)

Copenhagen street tax

My last day in Copenhagen ended with a canal tour of Copenhagen. It
was suggested by my friend Katrine who I met several years ago
skiing. She now lives in Copenhagen and joined me on the tour. While
on the tour, Katrine and the boat guide both provided city histories.
I prefered Katrines rendition but we both learned something new from
the boat guide. In old Copenhagen, the buildings are very narrow
because they were taxed by the length if city street they occupied.
It doesn't matter when or where, people always try to avoid being
taxed it seems.

Thanks Katrine for the tour and worlds best hot dog.

Train life

Time was running out so I hopped on the train from Arhus to
Copenhagen. It took 3 hours which would of been 3 days on the bike.
Good thing for trains.
