Another look at the loop

The Alpine Loop is by far my most favorite place to ride my bike. The narrow winding road pushes you up through fields of pine which eventually morph into aspens as you draw nearer to the summit. As you exert yourself, you pull in huge gulps of clean mountain air which seems to have a pleasant flavor. In the early morning hours the greens of all the undergrowth and trees seem to be more vibrant.

I love where I live. Today was the first time I have been able to share this with my brother Todd. I love riding with him and he is getting faster every time we go out. He rode strong all day today. We started from our house and rode the full Loop.
