Cycling along the old Rio Grande

We has a lovely weekend.
We went to cycle along the old Rio Grande path starting at Basalt.
We had tea at the local cafe in Basalt and listened to some great musicians that performed in the open air farmer's market that was happening along the main road.
We love cycling along this path which is the old train path that was converted into a cycling path and that snakes between the mountains all the way to Aspen.
It is paved all the way to Woody's Creek and then it becomes a gravel path that leads to Aspen.
This time we were on our road bikes, so we stopped at Woody's for lunch and then cycled back.
Spring is the colorful season here and wildflowers dot the cycling path. Birds are nesting and gathering and the wild herbs scent the air.

The hiking group was in good spirits this morning, cooking breakfast and packing up their gear. We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years stor...
