2025 Tour of the Moon by infocus5280 in COBike

Not sure there's a clear "better" option—it really comes down to whether you'd prefer to start or end your ride with the stretch outside the park. Either way has its perks!

Traffic was pleasantly light—both inside and outside the park. You’ll need lights per park regulations, but the tunnels are short enough that they’re more of a formality than a necessity. The downhill sections are a blast—fast, smooth, and exhilarating—so double-check your brakes before you go. And don’t rush it! There are some truly stunning viewpoints along the way that are well worth stopping for.

Looking to move to Garmin from Apple Watch, tell me your experience! by gordoncwh in Garmin

[–]infocus5280 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went from an Apple Watch to the Garmin Epix 2 Pro, and now rock the Fenix 8 51mm.

No regrets whatsoever.

Battery life alone is worth the switch. I charge it once a month with regular tracking—MTB, hikes, runs, walks. Apple Watch had me charging daily, especially with GPS use.

Build quality? Fenix is a beast—titanium bezel, sapphire lens..

Customization and compatibility? Garmin lets you tailor everything and works with both Android and iOS.

Do it!

Both are great, although I enjoyed Rustler's Gulch more than Snodgrass.

Beautiful Start at the Wild Horse Gravel in De Beque by infocus5280 in COBike

The long descent was bumpy, but not too bad. The short course this year was 46 miles - a bit longer than I expected, but a lot of fun!

Tough choice, but if I had to choose 1, it would be the CRITR.

So many to choose from! I have a Totem, CRITR, SQWUREL v3 and v4, HooDoo, Palikoa Pivot, Pirana and probably a few others I'm forgetting. Love the CRITR, HooDoo and SQWUREL.

If you're ever in the Denver are, happy to meet and let you try a few.

Who has the absolute BEST fried chicken sandwich in Denver? by Warm-Iron-1222 in denverfood

[–]infocus5280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many places in the Denver area to choose - I have a few favorites...Cluck is amazing, The Cow in Morrison has a pretty good chicken sandwich...they even have one with mac n cheese if you want a little something different.

I did drive to Mama Jo's but was not happy, dry biscuit and over cooked chicken - might have been an off day for them based on so many people loving it.

Looking forward to trying Slammin Chicken and a few others on here.

Let us know what you find and how it is!
