Sunday, August 1 - Tour of Downtown Denver Public Art

The next Lovely Sunday Ride will be a tour of downtown/central Denver public art.  It will likely be longer than the rides are typically, so please be prepared.  As I start planning the route we may slip the brunch stop in the middle of the ride.

Hope to see you all there!

Now THAT was a Lovely Ride!

Evidently  managing two blogs (one rather high volume and one very low volume) is too much for me to manage because I mistakenly wrote the ride report on Biking and Baking for this week.  You can read all about the ride and see a great group of pictures here!

Lovely Sunday Ride - Northwest Denver!

Another Extra Lovely Sunday Ride

What better to do on a sunny, 85 degree Sunday afternoon than go for a Lovely Sunday Ride!

We cruised around Wash Park.

And brunched at La Belle Rosette in Wash Park West.  They have the cutest little courtyard in back which you get to by going out the front door, down up the block a tad, down a passageway and through a gate.  When you walk into the courtyard you feel like you've discovered a very special secret!  The food and Italian sodas were wonderful!

A special little call out to the loveliest homebirth midwife ever - the magical Sena! She sat(?) by me as I birthed my two babies into this world nine and then five years ago. 

 I love every opportunity I get to hang with you and the kids are totally jealous!! 

THANKS so much for coming!!!!

See You Tomorrow!

Hope to see you all tomorrow for a Lovely Sunday Ride.  We'll meet at the Wash Park Boathouse at 11:30.  The weather is looking perfect!

Sunday, June 13 ~ Lovely Sunday Ride Wash Park West
