To your left is a picture of one of the cell phone towers on top of lookout mountain. I've been riding up through Golden to do this climb, it's about 5-8% for a solid 7 miles and on this past Sunday it became the first leg of my first century. Started at 7:30 in the morning with this route, then South to the Cherry Creek Reservoir and ran two laps around it, back to the Highlands for a grand total of 101 miles. The Friday before I happened to stumble upon one of those ear bud popping hipsters, but this one in particular happened to have a Bike & Build jersey on, so I had to stop and ask if she was riding this year. Turns out that she's riding on the Providence to San Francisco, and isn't quite a hipster as it turns out. We were supposed to go for a ride today, but it was raining/sleeting/snowing and instead hung out at Forest Room 5 [a true hipster joint]. Ride's rescheduled for Thursday, potentially a century this weekend with 50 miles of climbing. I'm still convinced no one reads this, but this one's for the crows.

HEY! it was only ONE earbud, I ride (relatively) safe, plus it was This American Life...which serves the purpose of..well nothing really I suppose except that I love it and it helps to break the conversations in my head while I ride. In any case, someone does read it eventually, right?
