Today’s Groupon deal was an awesome one.
For $85, they’re offering an overnight trip to Rocky Mountain National Park that includes 3 meals, a guided hike up Long’s Peak (a fourteener), and transportation to the park/trailhead. This would normally cost $284. It’s quite a deal.
I’m not a huge mountain climber, and I’m crunched for time this next couple months, but I think I’ll sign up for it.

For those of you out there who are also creating blogs and websites about biking and bike trails, I just found a great site with free (conditional) web images for your bike trail or hiking related sites.
The picture to the left is an example of an image from the pedbikeimage website.

A few recent articles show a glimmer of hope that this country is moving in the right direction when it comes to a bicycle friendly environment. The first two articles are from AARP:

A huge congratulations goes out to Colorado’s Mike Molloy for his recent American Trails personal website award. Take a look at the Mike’s Hikes website featuring trails in Rocky Mountain National Park and much more.
Once at Mike’s website, you can easily navigate to his blog page. He’s got some great information and beautiful pictures on the website and blog.
Way to go, Mike and thanks for sharing your trail knowledge and passion.

The bad news is that none of these trails is accessible by bike.
The good news is that all of these trails are in northwest/north central Wyoming, so they’re likely to be beautiful, uncrowded, and beautiful. Oops, did I say beautiful twice? It must have been a subliminal or not-so-subliminal slip.
I’m a big fan of solitude in my hiking trails, and I would guess each of these trails fills the bill. Wyoming is one of the least populated states and this particular part of Wyoming is even less crowded than the rest.
So here’s your link to 10 Northwest Wyoming Hiking Trails.
For a good Wyoming biking trail, visit Medicine Bow Trail near Laramie. There isn’t a lot of information on the web page yet, but I’m hoping there’ll be a map, information, & pictures on there by mid-August 2010.

I will never take my bicycle tire for granted again.
After watching this video of how a Schwalbe bike tire is made, I have whole new respect for what goes into each tire. Now when I get one of
