Morning Bike Ride (3 of 7 Entries)
Yet another beautiful morning in the foothills of the great Rocty Mountains. Since arriving in Ft. Collins, on several occasions, we had driven past the CSU Trial Gardens. So, this morning (Saturday) we decided to take a bike ride to see Colorado State University’s Annual Flower Trial Garden. 
As you can see in the photo set, the flowers are beautiful. Located in front of the old Ft. Collins High School, the Trial Garden provides an opportunity to learn about growing plants in the unique environmental conditions of the Rocky Mountain/High Plains region.
After arriving at the Garden, I was a little taken back by how tired I was. Granted, I had Nicholas on my bike, but I do regularly ride a stationary bike at the YMCA. 
So, again I found myself commenting on how getting old can be a real bitch. Katie was kind to point out that it probably wasn’t so much my age as it was the 5,000 foot altitude, which I was quick to accept.
Running parallel to College Avenue, the main street though Ft. Collins, are railroad tracks. Since the Trial Garden is located on College Avenue, when a train started passing by, just one block away, Nicholas quickly lost all interest in the flowers and headed for the sidewalk to watch the train go by. Nick is truly mesmerized by trains.
