Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park

Well, welcome to Estes Park in Colorado. The scenery was spectacular as all of Colorado has been (maybe minus La Junta, its pretty flat there but its all a matter of preference I suppose). I didn't get into the park too much as on my way to Rocky Mountain National Park next. Not to mention I was finding that some of the roads that I wanted to take were already closed and the last thing I wanted to get stuck somewhere in the snow on two wheels.

This is the beginning of Rocky Mountain National Park. The park was closed about 4 miles up the road so I just hit the into park and turned around.

This was along route 70 heading West towards Vail. I actually met a couple from Binghamton, New York at one of the rest stops and they were nice enough to take a few pics with me in the photo.

I would soon be along into Utah...

And so the adventure resumes...

September 23, 2011 will not only mark my birthday but it will also mark the two year anniversary since I've returned from Belgium. I spent nearly three months in Belgium living and trying to earn my way as a semi-pro cyclist. While I was there I blogged my adventures, all the ups, the downs and the few parties in between. I've decided I will do the same here for my new adventure beginning Oct-5-2011. I will be departing Boston on Oct-1 for Portland, OR. My first stop is base camp also know as Williamsport, PA and I'll be calling it base camp for a few days before I depart for the full feature length film on the 5th. 

I recently picked up a few travel maps of the US to explore the many route options available. My in between stops will hopefully be as new to you as they are to me. Let this be the first post of many more exciting entries to come...
