Good People--Steve, one of my retirement buddies.
Good Food--we ate at Panera's in the Aspen Grove shopping center. A really nice patio and some good food.
Good Exercise--we rode about 17 miles around Chatfield reservoir from the Aspen Groove parking lot. Can you believe the bike trail has a round about--see pic. Reminded Steve and I of our Italy trips. By the way, a good trail does not exist all the way around the lake. At the south end you have to walk you bike up a very loose dirt trail, across a couple of railroad tracks and then ride down the south end of Highland canal. We rode a little way on Santa Fe and then turned west by the Northwoods Inn resturant, climbed through a bared wire fence and finally got back on the "good" trail. Then north end of the lake has a really nice road lane for cyclists. But near the marina you have dirt roads. The trail on the sound side is asphalt and very very rough, lots of cracks. Steve didn't mind with his mountain bike but my road bike was not happy.
Great Retirement--a good ride with a good friend.
