Getting the Wheels Rolling

What you need to know:

This blog is to let you know what’s up. I’m sure you know what’s up and you’re really cool and trendy but I tend to be ahead of the curve. Sure I won’t hit the nail on the head every time and you might not like everything I say but keep an open mind, go with it, and I’ll do my best to entertain. The content will be reflections of myself so expect it to jump around because I’m a man of many hats.

You probably already are thinking who is this guy to say he is so hip? I’m really not. I’m just your average 20 something year old trying find a direction in life and in the meantime enjoying every moment of uncertainty. This journey generally leads me to the good, the bad, and the funky. Since moving to Denver I’ve already found some of all the above but I’m an optimist so I’ll stick to the good and the funky.

The first event I want to get people in the loop on is called The Denver Cruiser Ride. Many of you may be aware of this event seeing how it has been happening since 2005 but I first witnessed this spectacle last week. While casually hanging out on my balcony Grant Street became engulfed with people on bikes. I’m not talking about your road bike racers, fixie hipsters, or full suspension mountain men. I’m talking Knights and Nighties themed partiers. This is a pub-crawl that happens every Wednesday starting at 7pm. The line of bikes lasted 10 blocks starting with your Lance Armstrongs in front and finishing with those fighting to stay upright. The theme this week is Tour D’France so grab your yellow shirt or try to be the smelliest Frenchmen there I don’t care how you interpret it. If you like to have a good time, get some exercise, and have a few drinks come join this week. You don’t have a bike? No problem. There are numerous rental locations in Denver.

This is a great starter piece for me because I can confidently say anyone will enjoy this event. I can’t promise that on many things I’ll surely write about on here so do yourself a favor and trust me. This happens at the end every week at the end of the ride: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WLrxBRs3a8. Only in Colorado.
