Steamboat Guys Weekend

11/12 September 2021

Friday night after biking, we cooked in – Mark pulled together a great meal – ribeyes, corn on the cob and asparagus w/mushrooms, all cooked on the bbq! (Pete handled the dinner biscuits, and as normal kept the Margherita’s pouring.)

On Saturday… We went on another bike ride all morning, this time on the back side of Emeral Mountain, and were too tired to do anything else that afternoon! Picked up pizza from Clyde’s Pies – wood fired pizza. I give them 5-stars!

Sunday we took it easy in the morning, did some shopping mid-day in downtown Steamboat Springs, then went to Pearl Lake in the afternoon – Mark and I paddleboarded the whole lake, while Pete found a nice bike trail. The area around Pearl Lake is really beautiful and it’s only a 45 min drive north from the townhouse. We took some shots along the way, as it was a nice sunny afternoon. Thought 69ºF was chilly for going on the lake, but that sun really does a number on generating heat!!

Mountain Biking

Friday, 10 Sept 2021

Friday, after my run, the guys showed up (Pete actually came up early and was on con-calls most of the day in our quiet workspace in the downstairs queen bedroom) and I picked Mark up at Hayden (25 min drive). That afternoon we went on our first bike ride on Emerald Mountain – Parked over near the Rodeo at the Ice Rink lot… Went up Lupine Trail and down NPR Blueline.

Work from home in peace and quite from your cozy corner desk away from the group down in first floor Queen bedroom.

September Weekend – Day 1

So I came out for a visit this weekend. Flew directly into Steamboat (Yampa Valley / Hayden airport) on Thursday. Plans are to get a few things done for the house – new pictures, some improved light switches, better thermostat for the gas fireplace, etc… AND – to meet up with a couple great friends – Pete from Boulder, and Mark who went to Cornell with me 30 years ago!

Friday morning I went on a run just down at the bottom of Walton Creek Road – very close to here. I drove, but should have run there as it’s so close! It’s the Yampa River Core Trail and I entered at the Walnut Creek section… Saw a hot-air balloon too overhead –

Ladies weekend in the mountain air

Last weekend my wife and a few of her best friends went up to the house for a girls weekend away from the kids and husbands! What a great break away from the grind! There was some great cooking and some restaurant hopping – as well as hikes, paddle boarding, Steamboat Springs Yoga!
