May 30, 2009: One Saturday morning Rachael and I headed up above Fort Collins so I could do some bouldering. I’ve been meaning to post this since that morning and much later (4 months later!) I finally got around to throwing these pictures up and writing about the morning.
This year’s Memorial Day weekend was pretty busy for me, full of good times with friends and girl (Rachael!), mountain driving, and, unfortunately, quite a bit of rain. I’ve finally found a minute to write up this post. Only 4 days late, no too bad!
Over the past weekend I took part in a few exciting events. It started off with a 6 person ride around Fort Collins hitting up the local breweries on Friday. Adam, Eric (networking post-doc), Doug, Kate, Jesh, and myself took part. We started off by stopping by New Belgium but it was a bit too busy for our tastes. We skipped out there and headed straight to Odell’s. We had a few interesting conversations over a few beers (Nukes!) and then headed off to Fort Collins Brewery. Again, as is usual with our group, interesting conversations ensued. We ended the touring at Coopersmith’s with food and more beer. The night wound down at Adam’s by playing a telephone-like game that uses small drawings/descriptions on post-it notes. Adam’s crazy (but cool) neighbor stopped by and played some songs on guitar for us. It was a good start to what turned out to be a great weekend.
