Sunday was a big day. After the Ned Ride we headed up to Ft. Collins in search of the Poudre. The Poudre was flowing, but apparently it had dried up significantly since the week before. No one likes a dry Poudre! I thought the Poudre up there was easy, but it actually turned out to be quite a workout. I’m sore today from all the stroking and pumping involved with an adventure to which I’m not accustomed. Now I know that seeking out the Poudre is not something to be taken lightly; one needs to be prepared for the potential consequences. You might come out unscathed, or you might get scratched and bruised. You just never know. Fortunately we all had a great time on the Poudre. And the best part was we didn’t have to take turns; we all got to ride at the same time because Justin was prepared with enough inflatables for us all. He’s talking about talking Clear Creek next. I don’t know about that one, it looks intense!
