Curt Gowdy State Park

 Three weekends ago we drove up to Cheyenne, Wyoming and checked out Curt Gowdy State Park. We had heard there was some really good mountain biking trails there and we were not disappointed! We met our new friends from Steam Boat Springs, Lewie and Linda Lewis for a day of mountain biking adventures.
 The area was quite unique with everything from desert terrain to aspens and pines and a beautiful lake. The trails were awesome and you could tell a lot of thought went into building them for mountain bikers. Here are Lewie (in front) and Dennis finising this part of the trail.
 Here we are posing at a high point above the lake. You can see more trails on the other side of the lake that we will explore next time. One thing nice is that they won't get as much snow here so we can ride here when the trails around us are closed.
Here is my beautiful bike taking a rest by some aspens. Really I do love my bike and I'm getting better and better at riding it.
