Well, there is that dooming fear that I'll like it too much!


But that sounds right.

from denver go north to boulder (the stealer can direct you to an easy
path).  if you want the best breakfast in town, or maybe even the entire
free world, stop at the village coffee shop.  its on folsom just off of
arapahoe (only a block off of 28th).  best blueberry pancakes and hashbrowns
you could want for.  take boulder canyon (twisty, be carefull the center
line is grooved to keep you off of it) to nederland and then the peak to
peak (sweepers, not too tight) to estes park.  on the way to estes take a
short side trip around brainerd lake.  it wont take much time and is very
scenic.  after riding around in rocky mountain park there is good mexican
food in estes.  ed's cantina on elkhorn ave.  if you are more in the mood
for italian there is an eyetie joint across the street from ed's that is run
by a real italian. mama rose's is the name of it.

after a long day of riding the mountains your best way back will be to come
down 36 through lyons and back to boulder.  it is a little twisty coming
down the hill from estes but from lyons to boulder it is flat and straight.
i would actually leave denver in the morning, spend the day gettting to
r.m.n.p. and riding then spend the night in estes. (better have a
reservation this time of year)  next morning i would get up and go back to
boulder and tour around a little.  if you have the time then skip the drive
on 36 and come back the peak to peak and turn left in ward on left hand
canyon back to boulder (a few tight turns to start then eases into
sweepers).  stop and eat at either the southern sun (broadway) or the
mountain sun (pearl street) for lunch.  before i quit drinking it was my
opinion that they served the best beer in the u.s.  if you drink try the
twisted pine, it is not one of their own brews but a guest beer.  remember
the beer in boulder is of a much higher alcohol content than on the east
coast.  walk the pearl street mall, hassle the freaky pan handlers and check
out the home town of mork from ork.

if you have any trouble in estes park or r.m.n.p. one of my good friends is
the lead climbing ranger for the longs peak district and patrols the rest of
the park when he is not on the mountain.  ask for jim and tell him you know
michael.  in fact i have climbed with at least four of the rangers in the
park.  a couple of them more than others.

if you have the time or inclination while you are in boulder to rock climb
or shoot prarie dogs i can hook you up with either.  but with ony two days
to play just ride and look.

 if you have problems in nederland then i have a scooter trash buddy that
lives there.  drop me an email and i'll give you my cell number just in case
you need a contact anywhere in the area.  i can usually scare up any number
of helpful freaks in kolo"rad"o quickly.
