A Ride, A Rip, Some Rock, And Rations ~ Alliterate Front Range Events 02Oct25-07Oct25

Kala and I have been in alt locations but today we got to ride bikes downtown again. Great weather and a nice ride...

I caught up again with Matt and his mates for a rip around the Mount Evans/Blue Sky area. We didn't have to do much leaf peeper leaping despite the timing. It was still pretty. I rocked on back out to Summit and stopped at ORB to conclude.

Jim & I hit Red Rocks on my way back to COS for a concert at Red Rocks. As often, I was there to see the opening act of three, Jade Bird. She delivered a good 45min show with hits sung of challenging life moments. She's back to a strong one woman show after a keen stint as front-woman with her ex in a full band. Both are great. Sound at RR as always, was excellent.

We also saw Saint Motel (my first time), who were good. Jazzy band with solid lead vocals and fervent fans singing all the songs ~ mostly shouting the many chorus lines. I didn't stay for the headliners, Young The Giant, I've seen them before and wanted to get home and sated; Jim said they were good.

Kala took me to a restaurant she enjoyed earlier ~ but we couldn't find it. Yet, we had a nice evening at 503 West where Korean-inspired food was very good, but the tap list was wanting.
