FYI, I just posted some pictures from riding the Kenosha Pass-Georgia Pass section of the Colorado Trail during peak fall Aspen season: http: // www . thewildes . com/play/bikes/KenoshaPass03/KenoshaPass.jsp I've also got pictures of riding in Fruita, Co, about 2 weeks later: http: // www . thewildes . com/play/bikes/Fruita03/Fruita.jsp There also older pix of rides in Moab, local front range trails like Hall and Heil Ranch, etc, in my general cycling section: http: // www . thewildes . com/play/bikes/bikes.jsp (remove spaces from all of the above) Enjoy! - Nick P.S. is strictly spam bait, I can be reached at n p w @ t h e w i l d e s . c o m ( remove the spaces.) -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.

There has been more than a hundred visits today to the domain. Perhaps if you try later. FYI, I just posted some pictures from riding the Kenosha Pass-Georgia Pass section of the Colorado Trail during peak fall Aspen season: Looks like a great ride: all those autumn colours. (remove spaces from all of the above) Splendid pictures, would like to go to Moab sometime, but when we were in the US in July and August it was blistering hot and pointless when we could ride in places such as Frisco, Salida, Crested Butte, and Durango. By the way why do you put spaces in the addresses? Do you mind that anyone can see them? Or? Per -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.

There has been more than a hundred visits today to the domain. Perhaps if you try later. Yes, I got in a subsequent try - nice, informative site. It's always interesting to see how visitors perceive your home and its inhabitants. FYI, the reason Coloradans "love rain" (and you'll find this attitude predominant in the southwest and the arid mountain west), is as you surmised, we get so little of it. Fire is a natural part of the ecology out here, and is a constant threat during dry periods. Just last night a wildfire broke out in LeftHand Canyon northwest of Boulder, and 5000 acres burned before some well timed snow helped get it under control. Water literally brings life and safety to the west.. so most of the time, we're happy when it falls from the sky for free. Of course, if it rains for more than a couple of days in a row we get sick of it, and start grousing like everyone else Splendid pictures, would like to go to Moab sometime, but when we were in the US in July and August it was blistering hot and pointless when we could ride in places such as Frisco, Salida, Crested Butte, and Durango. Moab is definitely not the place to go in the summer.. unless you like heat stroke. In the spring and fall though when the snow's still in the high country it's a great place to get some riding in. By the way why do you put spaces in the addresses? Do you mind that anyone can see them? Or? My apologies - being overly paranoid, I guess. I used to read and post frequently to Usenet back in the ancient history, pre-WWW days. Now with all the spam and 'net viruses floating around, I didn't want to subject myself to uneccessary attention - didn't know if posting an unobscured web address invites as many attacks as posting an unobscured e-mail address. - N Nick @ thewildes . com -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.

It's always interesting to see how visitors perceive your home and its inhabitants. FYI, the reason Coloradans "love rain" (and you'll find this attitude predominant in the southwest and the arid mountain west), is as you surmised, we get so little of it. And this "love" of rain is based mostly on having been in drought for the last few years. In "normal" years we get a late summer monsoon that brings plenty of moisture on a near daily basis (isolated, scattered thunder storms). Spring storms with feet of wet snow "used to" bring LOTS of moisture to the state (and will hopefully return next year). Those have all but disappeared in the last few years and we are in serious, long term drought. It is really getting old to be able to play golf on Christmas day in shorts. Great cycling weather, though. Fire is a natural part of the ecology out here, and is a constant threat during dry periods. Just last night a wildfire broke out in LeftHand Canyon northwest of Boulder, and 5000 acres burned before some well timed snow helped get it under control.

Of course, if it rains for more than a couple of days in a row we get sick of it, and start grousing like everyone else Dry tinder, 50 - 80 mile an hour winds, a downed power line and: http://cycletourist.com/JamestownFire.html And luckily, a cold front rolled in last night with moisture. Still, it sounds like that fire is still 0% contained. By the way why do you put spaces in the addresses? Do you mind that anyone can see them? Or? My apologies - being overly paranoid, I guess. I used to read and post frequently to Usenet back in the ancient history, pre-WWW days. Now with all the spam and 'net viruses floating around, I didn't want to subject myself to uneccessary attention - didn't know if posting an unobscured web address invites as many attacks as posting an unobscured e-mail address. You can't hide a website. That has to be public information so that domain name servers can find your site. Do a lookup of your domain name sometime. That's all public record. I don't post my clients' web addresses on the Internet, but the script kiddies still come poking around every few days - usually looking for a formail script they can shanghai for sending spam. They don't need to harvest web addresses. They are public record. Obscuring your web address in a post only makes it more difficult for others to view the page. Tip: The best way to attract spam is to put your email address on your web site (with a mailto link). Email address harvesting bots scan the net for just such things. The best method is to use a form for contacts. (There is also a javascript, obfuscation solution that seems to work very well.) -- ***************************** Chuck Anderson • Boulder, CO http://www.CycleTourist.com Integrity is obvious.
