Ride Boulder Co

My Commute to Crossfit Roots – Boulder

Posted on 13. Jul, 2010 by Jennifer in Community by bike

It’s been a busy summer and I have been cycling quite a bit but I’ve also been traveling. I’ve gone to cycling-mecca Portland and the new hipster scene San Antonio (read: San Antonio’s Single Speed Scene), which I can’t quite believe. Having growing up there I know what a huge cultural shift this is for a place like San Antonio, where until recently people used to cruise through the parks on a Saturday all day looooonnnnnggg. But this also makes me think that things are shifting if imperceptibly and despite all the noise and the hatin’ that goes on when you start talking about cycling. People do things they enjoy, not withstanding taxes, visits to the dentist, etc, so if some enjoy riding around on single speed then maybe others will simply start riding to the store.

Which brings me to my commute up to the CrossfitRoots up at the top end of Pearl. I had this long post mapped out in my head, I was going to touch on that it is up hill from where I live, some bike path, some road, the heat and how tired I am after the work out on my ride home. And then I found that article about the single speed scene in San Antonio and decided to zip it. I mean if those peeps can get out there in that heat, with those enormous F-350s and enjoy themselves then my 15 minute cruise up to the end of town is easy bliss.

But I did take some interesting photos with my new app.

Uphill but who's complaining

A little heat never hurt anyone
