Saturday – ride day! We’ll go check out the Animas River Trail. It’s about a seven mile concrete or asphalt (or rarely, gravel) trail that parallels the Animas River. Clever name, huh? We started in the middle and headed in towards town, about 3.5 miles total to the current end of it on the North end, then we rode back to where we started. The South end did not hold any allure for us, so we skipped that – besides, we need to go to ACE Hardware to get a 7MM wrench so we can bleed The Bear’s brakes, and maybe stop at City Market for some vittles.

Ok, got the wrench, got the vittles, head home for some lunch!

After lunch, we got the itch to go back to that brewery that we couldn’t get into last Thursday, the Ska Brewery, so off it is! This time, there’s plenty of parking, so no issues with that, and we head in to the restaurant at the rear (The Container – so called because it’s made of shipping containers!). On the way in, we see some interesting things:

Bike racks! Really cool ones, that hold the bike vertically. i like it! So, we went on inside, tried some of their stouts, and also looked at the food menu. Hmmm … Kimchi Burger. I happen to like Kimchi, so this sounds like a most-have! Here it is, $8 by itself, or $10 with a pint:

The Kimchi was pretty good, though it could have been hotter, but I’d still have this on a return trip. On the way out, we saw a different type of bike rack, much more creative:

And that was it for today! Tomorrow? Not sure. Some killer trail, I’m sure, where we’ll never be able to catch our breath, but that’s why we’re here!
