    What a treat it was yesterday to sneak in a MUni ride during working
    hours. My Solar Energy business is jammin these days, which has been
    consuming my time, so I made myself go out. This was a short loop ride,
    right from my house. Kind of a brutal climb, 1,400' (426 meters) in
    just under 2 miles (3.1 km), but the mostly single track downhill was
    worth it. The early season flowers, lupine & indian paintbrush, covered
    the ground on the descent. The single track is a game trail, mostly elk
    and bear, and signs of both were very evident. I have run into bear on
    this loop before, so now sing out load as I traverse down the steep
    switchbacks. Weather was ideal, mid 70's with cumulus clouds building
    into the Colorado blue skies above. I must say that my afternoon
    workload was much more enjoyable after that ride, I must do that more
    often. Hope your all getting out as well. Cheers.

    Looks great, Mike. You must have read 'In Search of Excellence'
    (http://tinyurl.com/es2ku). At least I think that's the book that talks
    about a high-level manager leaving early on Wednesdays to work in his
    wood shop. Way to act outside the box!

    Someone who I met on the trail.

    I moved from the valley of the sun in 79' so I could be where stuff is
    green, then white.

    Tommy, I'll make some laps in the aspens for you. The highcountry is
    just starting to open up, free of snow, so I will be getting lost in
    the forest often. So far the bears have been more afraid of me. You'll
    deserve a huge break after NAUCC, so just get you and your MUni here,
    the rest is on me. 🙂
