flex-time Friday




Magnum's been working some longer days lately to build up some hours to get a few flex-time Fridays in.  Today was one of them.  Yay!






We took advantage of the sun and warmth - it doesn't feel like fall at all here yet - and hit the bike trail.

Neither of us has been on this stretch of trail before, and it was a  nice ride through mostly boonies.  There were a few areas of what I might call "technical" with some steep grades, rocky rutties, and loose sand, but for the most part it was very manageable.  Bella and whatever Magnum's neglected bicycle is named handled it all just fine.

It was a beautiful day for it.  For a while, we paralleled the interstate, watching as the poor slobs sat in commuter traffic.

Pizzas for anyone who can name the Colorado attraction in the photos.  Anyone?  Guano??

Soon enough, we decided we'd better turn around.  It was  another 5 miles or so to the next town up the trail, and if we'd had more time, we would've just continued.  But I had some homework to finish and felt I should do the responsible thing...

I didn't even realize there was an attraction in the photo until I blew it up. Then I did some googling cuz I like a good challenge (and pizza), and came up with a "maybe" answer. I'll let Guano prove me right or wrong.
What a beautiful day you had for Flex Friday. Good for you for taking advantage of it before doing the responsible thing and blogging. You've got all weekend to do homework!

*ack* *twitch*
That "attraction" is triggering my nervous tic!

Still, looks like a great day for a bike ride (just don't get too close to that place!).

I'll take my pizza with Falcon and mushrooms and sausage. I done figured it out before I even read Shadowrun's hints/clues. Nice day for a ride in the boonies. I am surprised you haven't named Magnum's bike for him. Even if you had to name it Bob, it still is better that the "bike yet to be named".

Hurrah! In some sections, I was glad to just not majorly bite the dust, since we were probably on camera.

I suspect your "maybe" is correct. It's not the mall.
And it was a perfect day for it. I'll blog.... erm.... do homework tomorrow!

We were getting some suspicious looks from low flying aircraft. I expected them to flush their toilets at any moment.

And how do you like your Falcon? Crispy or grilled?
Magnum's bike does need a name. "Bob" works as he's a shy but dutiful guy. Or Oliver...

Guano is having a nervous tic because he sees the AFA chapel in the waay background! Not just the classrooms! LOL
Looks like a great day for a bike ride!
From S-I-L :)

Ha! Gotcha, *wink*wink*

Looks like a prison in the background, but I suppose that isn't really an attraction is it?
