I had a dry and cool, then wet and cold, then somewhat sunny mountain bike ride this morning south of Boulder on Marshall Mesa, where evidence of the catastrophic fire from a few years ago is still seen on the trunks of the still-living trees and the heat-cracked sandstone near the trail. It was a lovely day to be on the bike, despite the wind coming off the front range, and I am excited to explore more of the trail there soon.

Different view of the #Boulder #Colorado #flatirons.

Excellent crowd to ride for a memorial.

Or a protest.

I'm here for a bit of both.

We tried to explore the Flatirons Vista Trailhead and it was just too damn hot! Only managed to get a few pics before calling it quits.

I’ve lived here 30+ years and today was the first time I ever hiked up to (near) the top of the 3rd Flatiron. It was steep, it was awesome, and my knees are now jello. 🥾🌞
