Kala & I had another nice bike ride on a sunny day on the Front Range. There we quite a few people out on Sunday on the rec path but we navigated around 'em. Kind of an 18 miler. No pics from the ride. We stopped for refreshments after at Red Leg, where my face got totally fried in the sun. Still time for a spa soak.
On the way to Summit I stopped again in 11 Mile Canyon. I fished just briefly but caught some; the wind was up and it was chilly despite a decent 47° and sun. It's still midge weather and while the redds are evident I saw little spawn action yet. Very late start this year on this section of the S Platte. I wielded the Rodfather Diamond Blaze this outing and the maroon pop top and the money midge took the fish.
I caught up with bro Brown arriving in Summit. We tried the new Screaming Pika taproom. Surprisingly it is one of those "by the ounce" spots and we each had several tastes. It's a very nice spot with cool furnishings and outside area right on the Blue River. I guess we'd both rate it "meh" though ~ sensing stops at our local breweries were more fun. We moved on for nosh at Dillon Dam Brewery. Of course we capped the night with totties & tunes on the latest 5.1.2 NestMT. Fun day; good to see Steve again.
We hit Keystone pretty early for the late spring season. The snow was not soft at 9:15am. We headed straight back to Bergman Bowl as its mostly sunshine there. It got better as the day moved on but we did have some teeth chattering bump runs and screaming corduroy rips till it softened. I did get a good pan of all of the entire 10 Mile range though.
