Denver > Lookout > Dinosaur Ridge > Bear Creek; 63mi, 3200ft gained

I had larger aspirations for today's ride, but wasn't feeling so hot and bagged my original route. Instead, I knocked off Lookout Mountain outside Golden, then headed south along Dinosaur Ridge and up and over. I eventually ended up near enough Bandimere Speedway dragstrip and listened to some muscle cars rip down the 1/4mi strip but couldn't see much. Despite not getting in my multiple major climbs like I'd intended, it was a good day on the road bike. I feel like I pansy for only pedaling 63mi w/ insignificant climbing, but some days are made for taking it easier.
