More Ft Collins Love

Today I checked out the Foothills and Horsetooth Reservoir by foot and bike...the US Pro Tour will come by here next weekend and I rode part of their stage for that day...I expected the roads by the lake to be flat, but man was I wrong:

 See the hill in the background with that road going up? I love hills!!!

 The pavement has NO cracks, the shoulder was nice, the traffic was very very light. Ft Collins is in the background.

 More climbing!!!

 And some more climbing!!!

 Beautiful views, about 10 min riding distance from Ft Collins!!! Check out the road again :-)

Then I went running along the Foothills, and I decided to follow this path that seems to go all through town and around town. What I really really like is that you always have a "gravel" option right next to it.

Or you can just venture off into the foothills and run to the Lake, which might be a 30 min run (or less) to Horsetooth. There are trails everywhere and miles and miles of running without seeing one person is possible right out your front door.

I am in love with this town. Now we just need to find that one house we have been looking for!!! Tonight I am trying out Track practice, which apparently happens every Tuesday and is followed by burgers and beer...it doesn't even shock me anymore. Breweries EVERYWHERE. Beer consumption in Ft Collins must be pretty similar to water consumption. They have happy hours here where you get 2 Dollar New Belgium Pints. Unheard of...unless you are in Ft Collins!!!
