I finally got out on the bike again. It is a gorgeous day today. I think the temperature was in the mid 60's. It was sunny, clear and calm.

I rode by the Carmody Rec Center to pick up one of the city's bike trail maps. Then I proceeded down to Morrison Road into Bear Creek Lake Park. I'm pretty sure I ended up on the Mt. Carbon Trail. I came out of the park, rode under C470 and then headed back up north to Alameda into Jewell.

There's really no such thing as a flat ride along the front range. I had a number of climbs and my legs are definitely feeling the workout.

Total distance according to Map My Ride was around 17 miles.

I was having lots of trouble clipping out of my pedals. Early on in the ride, I pulled over and really loosened the tension on the clips on the pedals. I wonder if my cleats are just worn out.

As it turns out, the Bear Chase Race was today. So, the path was quite busy through the Bear Creek Lake Park. It was nice to see all the people, though.
