There's a little black spot on the sun today..

Haven't blogged much lately, what with all of the holiday happenings. We finally got snow in the Springs area and that means the trails are not so fine. It also means that Lake Pueblo State Park is back on the radar. Here is a little video clip from a recent ride there:

And, I don't want to sound like an info-mercial but I just got a Vitamix blender and it is awesome. I recommend it for someone who wants to eat healthy foods but is too lazy to make huge meals. I drink more emulsified fruits and veggies than ever before!

Another winter-time favorite is the Manitou Incline hike. Cindy and I are back on the "every Sunday" schedule. Here is a pic from a past hike:

Feel the burn! Hahaha. Ow, cramp!
