This is the spot to see the sunrise. Hope to make it this year to get a new picture.

 

 

God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.

It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding.

It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race. Psalm 19: 4-5

It has been thirteen years since I trained for and rode in the MS 150 bike-a-thon. I miss those rides and the camaraderie of training with with my friend Mark and others. In preparing for that ride, I rose up early one morning, put my headlight on my bike and took off for my favorite training ride, Lookout Mountain. It’s eleven miles from my door to the gate pillars at the base of the mountain. That makes for a great warm up before a great climb of four and a half miles. There are other great training rides on the west side of Denver that longer and include some quad killing hill climbs. Those are ok, but if you can time it just right and reach the east side of Lookout just as the sun is breaking the eastern plains, it really brings to life the passage above. I encourage all of my fellow cyclists to enjoy this ride. Fortunately before sunrise there is not not much traffic either on the roads or the mountain and the descent is a blast.

 

Thanks for perusing,
