Last night, it was (gasp!) cloudy and sprinkling when I left work. It was also colder than I was dressed for, so I just hightailed it home. Ironically, there was a bike fair from 7-9 pm. It gets dark around 7:30 here, and I don't have lights for my bike ... and it was still cold and overcast. So I (sigh) drove to the bike fair. The good news is that I was able to get some paper maps of the bike trails. The online map at http://www.fcgov.com/bicycling/pdf/bike_map_9_14_05.pdf is awesome, but it's no good if you don't have an internet connection and a laptop with you -- it prints out very small, so it's useless. I'm told they will be coming out with new maps in 30-60 days, but I'm happy to at least have the old one. It was also nice to learn of a trail connecting the NW Poudre River trail with the Spring Creek trail -- it's off the map to the west, so I didn't know about it. I also picked up a bird list for the area, and a mammals and other critters list, too.
Yesterday was my 5th day of work -- I've been working for a week. Friday will mark the end of my first calendar week at work. Pretty soon I'll lose track and stop counting.
Today's after work excursion was again to the Poudre River trail, but this time without all the extra wandering. Then I made a point of heading into Old Town to find the Food Coop. This was quite an adventure, as there is a lot of construction at the nearest intersection. I nearly wiped out on some dirt and gravel, but managed to keep upright. The Food Coop was like a mini Greenstar. I'm going to try to stop there for bulk items. Sadly, whole wallet (commonly known as whole paycheck) has a bigger selection of nearly everything they carried, except the bulk items.
