Bike along the Yampa River

This morning we took off on our bikes and rode almost 20 miles altogether. I led the first leg and took us along the Yampa River thru Steamboat and to the east side. It is a lovely ride that follows the river the whole length. When we got to the end, John took the lead and we back tracked a short distance and then headed up the hill towards Gondola Square at the ski resort. But first we had to stop for iced coffee and to read the local newspaper. The ride up the hill to the ski resort wasn't too bad, we have done worse! They were busy getting ready for the wine tasting part of the Wine Festival.

When we came back down, we stopped at a restaurant/bar on the Yampa and had lunch while watching people float in tubes on the river. It was a very pleasant time until the clouds started rolling in as usual in the afternoon. So after napping to the sound of rain on the roof, I got my laundry done before supper. It's Saturday night and we were too pooped to do anything!
