Spring is around the corner. We’ve had a tough winter. February averaged nine degrees colder than usual this year. When I was working full time as a teacher, I averaged a couple days of biking per week. This year, as a retiree who works from home, I only made it out two or three times all winter. It’s been either too cold, too snowy, or too icy.Well it’s warm out today, and my thoughts turn to a good biking trip. I’m thinking the Bear Creek Trail that goes through parts of Morrison, Arvada, Westminster & Denver, Colorado would be a good trail to hit pretty soon.
The nice thing about the Bear Creek Trail is that I can start by having breakfast in Morrison and end by having lunch in Denver. It also makes a pretty good loop trail when tied in with the Platte River Trail and the C470 Trail.
If you are interested in any of those trails, feel free to visit the links above for more trail information and photos.

… even worse… there’s not any inns.
I’m trying to find lodging for my upcoming bike ride on the Chief Ladiga & Silver Comet Trails in Alabama & Georgia. Holy cow … There are slim pickins’ near the beginning of each trail, and nearly no pickins’ in the middle.
If anyone out there on the ol’ cyber trail knows about lodgings in Cedartown, Georgia or Piedmont, Alabama, give me a shout. Of course there are hotels in those towns, but they’re not very close to the trail. I hate riding on roads, so I’d prefer something close to the rail-trail.
For information about the Chief Ladiga Trail in Alabama or the Silver Comet Trail in Georgia, visit trailsnet.com.

I just added a new trail to the trailsnet website yesterday. It is for the Caribou Trail which is just a little bit NW of Nederland, CO. The web page doesn’t have a map on it yet. Normally, I don’t report the pages on my blog page until they are complete; but this one is best for cross-country skiing, so I wanted to get the information out to you before it gets too springy. The way this winter has been going, we may run out of snow soon.
So if you enjoy cross-country skiing, visit the Caribou Trail information page @ trailsnet.com.

I try to save a buck whenever I can, and it’s especially important on airfares which can be pretty expensive. Often, I’m able to use frequent flyer miles.
But when I can’t, I seek out bargain airlines such as Southwest Airlines and Frontier Airlines. I recently learned of four new budget airlines. They are:
