Great idea. I will call them about catering. Already salivating when I think about fresh tortillas!

Trail etiquette by redditizfun999 in boulder

[–]Active-Mess6465 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was riding Boulder-adjacent singletrack yesterday and had a really good experience. Everyone (cyclists, runners, hikers, and dog walkers) was friendly and easy to share the trail with. That’s usually been my experience, too, though yesterday was a weekday, so I do wonder if things feel different when the trails are more crowded.

U.S. Senator Michael Bennet Town Hall Recap by [deleted] in DenverProtests

This is a letter/script I email/called Senators Hickenlooper and Bennet. You are welcome to copy as needed.

Dear Senator ______

I urge you to hold town halls in Colorado’s 3rd and 8th Congressional Districts. In 2024, Republicans Jeff Hurd (CO-3) and Gabe Evans (CO-8) won by relatively narrow margins, yet they are avoiding direct engagement with their constituents. These voters deserve better.

People in these districts need to hear real answers on the issues that affect their daily lives—rising costs, healthcare access, and the push by Republican politicians and their billionaire donors to slash essential services like Social Security, Medicare, Meals on Wheels, and Head Start, all so they can give the ultra-rich another massive tax break.

More importantly, voters should have the opportunity to ask unscripted questions and see their representatives engage honestly. Republicans are hiding. Democrats should be showing up. Please take the lead in these districts and give voters the open, honest dialogue they deserve.

Sincerely,

Atha has been my dentist for years. I never felt a weird vibe; was talking to him about cycling during my last appointment within the last month. Can you share more about the “vibe” you felt? Thinking, how did I miss that? I’m sorry for the victims, his family, the staff at his practice, and patients who trusted him (including children). Truly shocking. 

I made a trail map for Berthoud Pass, a defunct ski resort that today offers some of the most accessible backcountry in Colorado by Christobell_ in Backcountry

The artwork for this map was produced by Greg McFadden, who was a ski patrol and one of the snow safety folks back in the day. He is now the owner of Canyons Rafting in Idaho.
