The colorful aspens were delightful accents to the mountain landscape. But, but, but…”. The typical formations at Lehman Caves were worth a look. But 2016 was different: Bi...

Travelfit 2011 - 2017. Velofun 2003 - 2010. LOOKING BACK: Firsts and Near-Firsts. June - September 2016). Take Nothing for Granted. Mittagsscharte Summit: the view we didn’t see 6 weeks prior because of the unscheduled hail storm. Pay Your Money and Take Your Chances. So rejuvenating on a hot day in Ortisei. We’d seen E-bikes here and there in the Alps over the last few years but in 2016 there was an explosion in their popularity.

Travelfit 2011 - 2017. Velofun 2003 - 2010. WRAPPING-UP IN THE SW. April - May 2016). A typical wildflower huntress during Death Valley’s big bloom. Our annual month-long stay in Albuquerque earned the “Spring Training Camp” label this year because instead of just maintaining our fitness level with readily available hiking and biking outings, we actually were training for an event. Blooms like these are easy to spot and enjoy. Two, Not One, Events. We were buzzing with excitement: for only the 2nd time i...

Travelfit 2011 - 2017. Velofun 2003 - 2010. COLORADO and THE NEW TRUCK. THE 2 FACES OF COLORADO. Colorado’s Front Range. In addition, most of the highways, freeways, and even side streets we traveled in the region were in terrible condition, making the driving slow and tedious. No doubt the long snow season and pressure to keep the roads open makes them money-holes to maintain. We were only passing through, but were quite road-weary from the rough conditions hour after hour. Gas was cheaper in Colorado t...
