Rural CO Biking

May 20th 2020 — Biking,Colorado — 3:39 pm

In a time where the official policy of the State of Colorado is to remain within 10 miles of your home, Jeff and I rode our bikes about 250 miles over 4 days in the western part of the state.

Because we were two white guys no one shot us or anything. (edit….this was a reference to Ahmed Arbury, who was murdered while he was jogging. Since I wrote this George Floyd was murdered and the world has reacted in a substantial way) Local police and Sheriffs did not care. The multitude of other recreaters (which apparently is not a word, but should be) from in and out of state certainly did not care.

Much scenery was seen and many snacks were eaten. Thanks to Jeff for the plan. These pictures are from the first two days.

  1. Glad (very( that you were able to do this! BTW: How small is Norwood and what would the residents do to earn a living?

    Love,
    Dad

  2. Awesome! Sounds really nice. The last picture skipped into “We rode bikes on the beach in Malibu” and I was quite confused for a second but also impressed at how quickly you made it to the ocean.

  3. Dad, according to Wikipedia and the 2010 Census, the population of Norwood is 518 people. There are a few service-oriented businesses in town where people could work (A small grocery store, hotel-ish thing, a restaurant (more than one?)…). I’d imagine most people are ranchers/farmers.

  4. Davy, haha….Yes, that happened to me too. Alas, we did not make it to the ocean on this trip. 🙁
