happy hour at Avery Brewing Co.



Happy Hour
Avery Brewing Co.'s tasting room
5763 Arapahoe, Unit E
Monday, August 25th
5-7pm

Our friends at Avery Brewing Co. want to reward you for a hard season of patrolling by throwing a happy hour event at their tasting room, and we're excited to take them up on the kind offer. Avery will provide the beer, BMBP will provide the pizza, and you'll provide the good times. We'll also be passing out more tubes, a slew of SRAM PowerLinks (donated by Performance Bicycle), and those nifty reusable zip ties we talked about so many moons ago!

We'll also do a little something special to recognize some of the patrollers who have put in big effort (to date - the season is not over!) for the Boulder Mountain Bike Patrol.

This event is just for BMBP patrollers, so leave your crew of hard-drinking buddies at a different bar and meet them after 7pm. :)

Birthday Patrol at Hall Ranch


Well, worked on my bike yesterday to get ready for the San Juan Hut Trip from Silverton to Moab and needed a test ride anyway. Plus its a feel good when you are riding something so fun on your bday and volunteering at the same time! Not my normal ride for a bday epic, but since I leave on the trip Saturday--no need to make epic too early. Headed out to Hall and had the place mostly to my self. Did help out a couple from Florida that were a little in awe at the rock garden. Storms started to develop in the distance but overall great morning and my bike worked perfectly. Here are some quick pics. You can see the storms develop over the laps I did at the top. Nice Blue Sky looking West on the loop.

Looking back East--nice blue sky day..or at least it seems.
Longs and Meeker in the distance--not many clouds yet.
Bike Tracks on the Closed to Bikes trail--not good to see--not just one set, but several sets.


This is me, in case we have not met! One more Westerly Pic after a few laps--clouds formed quick!
Ride on!
