Yes, that’s a giant cowboy in front of someone’s home, with Longs Peak in the background.

It’s too bad the smell of fresh mountain air, cleaned by a recent rain/snowstorm, can’t be captured and transmitted digitally.
My Colorado Rides
March 28th, 2012Below is a kernel-density map showing where and how often I’ve ridden my bike around Boulder in the last year and a half. I’ve posted things like this before for my rides in California. The color map (the legend is in the bottom-left corner) indicates that anywhere there’s a green dot, I’ve cycled through there at most a few times, and anything between blue and purple are my usual routes. There are a few red points mainly centered around where I live, which corresponds to places I’ve been through a few hundreds of times.
Looking at the map, I’m a bit surprised at the amount of exploring I’ve done out in the plains. I didn’t realize I had done that much out there. I also want to note that most of the dead-end segments are due to geography – the roads end where the segments do.

This map, of course, was built using this tool I wrote quite some time ago. If you check it out, please don’t judge me too harshly, I was just learning Python when I wrote it!

Snowshoeing Bear Creek Trail
February 11th, 2012
Here are a few photos I took on my snowshoeing hike in the mountains behind NCAR. As always, click to enlarge an image. Unfortunately, I broke one of my nearly brand new snowshoes. Luckily, I was nearly back to the car when it happened. By the way, today’s high was -7C (20F).
Above is a panorama of some lesser Flatirons.
The narrowly beaten path between the Aspens.
A snowy view. Gotta love Boulder!
