Leaving Boulder

We finally had beautiful weather in Boulder, so I took advantage of the nice weather to get a bit of a ride in around Boulder before we headed to Hot Springs, South Dakota. It was quite a long drive up here, so I’m just going to leave you with a few pictures of the Boulder area and the route data. Enjoy.
