Gravel Adventures in Westcliffe — Part I

I’m not much of a gravel rider. As I told Brittney and Kelly, “Gravel is sort of that mediocre middle between road and mountain. With mountain, you can ride over boulders, huck your bike off jumps, and adjust the suspension for the terrain. With road, it’s just smooth and fast.”

My most used phrase over the weekend was, “I should have brought my mountain bike.”

I wouldn’t have had as much fun on these roads had it not been for the company though.

I rolled into Westcliffe around 7:00 PM on Friday. Kelly and Brittney arrived 20 minutes before me. The 3-hour drive wasn’t all that bad, thanks to The Last Podcast on the Left. If you like learning about serial killers’ lives told by three men who are smart, incredibly dorky, funny, and witty as hell, then you’ll love it. Chris introduced me to the podcast when we drove 8 hours to Roswell over the summer and it made the time fly by.

I listened to Episode 419: Jodi Arias Part I on the way down until I lost service. Not only was the relationship between Jodi Arias and Travis Alexander (who she killed) covered but also “WAP” by Cardi B. Ben, Henry, and Marcus weren’t sure how “ass” was being used in “Wet Ass Pussy” so there is very much an analysis of it.
