Description

Holly Crossing -> Kings Ranch -> 128th & Riverdale -> Adams Co. Regional Park -> Brighton's Veteran's Park via S. Platte River Trail & return: S. on River Trail -> 120th -> S. on Riverdale -> Quebec -> Mayfield -> Holly Crossing

Notes:

At one point outbound, the GoPro mount works loose (possibly because the camera mounting tabs contracted with the cold). Over a quarter mile the camera slowly collapses forward, finally recording the view straight downward ... this went unnoticed for approx. 1.7 miles. I've deleted most of that "center of the earth" footage & the corresponding GPS points... yielding an obvious "glitch" in the video stream & a straightline jump in the GPS map.

Oh, well ... life's an experiment :o) ...

Hot cocoa near the halfway point (cut out too ... use your imagination) ... 15 mph headwind gusting much of the return trip. Low increasing to mid 40's °F as the ride progressed. Was wishing my gloves weren't fingerless at the beginning, improved right about where the camera glitched as the day warmed a few degrees.
