Beautiful! Your pictures make me want to get on my bike and go there NOW!
Quite lovely Jim. Wish I could post some pics of the scenery from the Rockies close by here.

Jean. Thanks. More ideal biking weather today, especially later on. Hope to post more tomorrow morning, though connection is slow and erratic here.
Bob. Thanks. What about your own blog – 'Bob's rocky moments'?!
Goodness me Jim, sounds too much for my limited brain capability!
