last Saturday off

As up with people is typically a six-day workweek, which starts in full swing on Monday, we wanted to make the most of our last Saturday off (for awhile). Here's what I (ellen) learned:

1. when its going to be 100 degrees in Denver, all the locals head into the mountains, where the temperature drops in direct proportion to how high you go
2. mountain-biking at 7,000+ feet is a really quick way to learn how out-of-shape I am
3. the hottest item at the Central City American Pride Music Festival and street fair was definitely the "tater twist" -- a spiral-cut spud, deep fried and smothered with gooey nacho cheese
4. I need to be more diligent about carrying my camera places, because not only were the bike trail views gorgeous, and the mound of tater twists worth documenting, but also because reading a blog with no photos is definitely less interesting than a blog with photos.

I vow to do better! -ee
