May 10 - Welcome to Boulder, CO.

My Boulder roomies chillin' out - Chris and Chuck.

Roomie #3 - Gordo hard at work.

The start of my hike near the Flatirons, CO.

An abandonded rock shack along the Mesa Trail.

Looking back over Boulder.

Victory! Finally made it to Brainard Lake.

5,000 feet of climbing on this ride.

All that climbing was worth it.
