Two Saints Spotted On South Platte Trail

Yep ... not one but TWO SAINTS! I'm always on the watch for "saints among us" but these two were highly visible this past Tuesday. Janelle & Anne hopped on the South Platte trail in Commerce City and rode to REI/Starbucks @ Confluence Park. That was around 7.5 miles one way. The trail was just coming alive (literally ... the many, many homeless peeps were just awakening) between 9:30 & 10:00 AM. It was a little sketchy at times ... dodging the large group of kids (Janelle recognized most of the riders) and the homeless ... we successfully navigated our way to the ultimate destination!

After chilling out in the shade with some iced teas ... we shopped the bike section @ REI & drooled over the cute, cute cycling attire. Although Janelle was "packing" (a credit card, not a gun), she exercised restraint and both saints departed without a purchase!

Of course the ride back seemed much faster (it was ... it was down-hill) but we logged a round-trip of 15 miles and called it a SUCCESS! We're so proud! Probably do it again next week only start further north on the trail.

Peace to all Saints!
