Communal Cycling

My father was a mountain-biking freak. He'd jet from Littleton up to Conifer on what he called a "short ride," and he was a dynamic presence at the ride-across-the-state cycling events in which he participated. He'd occasionally try to get me to join him on these week-long "adventures," and I'd always laughingly decline. Me? On a bicycle? In the mountains? For a week? Dad, you're crazy.
