The First Ride Teaching your 4-year-old to ride a bike can be frustrating, to say the least. However, there is something so profoundly satisfying watching your son or daughter take off down the road by their own power. It’s fulfilling for us and empowering for them. The same is true for all of us. There is just something about a bike ride that is soothing to the spirit. So the saying goes, “it's like riding a bike.” If you’ve done it once you can do it again, and it is true. Once you learn to ride, it’s easy and fun, and an enjoyable activity to share with the family. There are lots of different places that you ride, but some can be more fulfilling than others. Some can be safer than others, and some can be more challenging than others. So, dependent upon what you are looking for, a quick evening ride, a scenic sightseeing tour, or a vigorous workout, all can be had with the right planning.

The Thriller plants are often the focal point and omit an eye-catching vertical element to one’s eye. If you’ll be viewing your container from all sides, the thriller goes in the middle. If your view the…
Perhaps you have explored Denver and wandered the undulating paths of Rocky Mountain National Park; maybe you have even summited Pikes Peak - one of the most popular fourteeners in the Colorado front range. Are you familiar, however, with the less populated and equally stunning Western Slope? The Western Slope of Colorado consists of everything in the state that is west of the continental divide. This region is considerably more remote than the front range, or Eastern Slope, which includes the larger cities - Denver and Colorado Springs. If you are looking to avoid big cities and find solitude in the outdoors while exploring Colorado, west of the divide is the place to be. Here you will find smaller crowds, greater seclusion, and charming mountain towns boasting great food, local breweries, and lively summer festivals.
