Colorado is one of the most beautiful places to live in the United States. We have the foothills and just beyond that are the great Rocky Mountains. We have the plains to the East, where you can look out and see for miles. We have wonderful weather (normally). With mild summers and snowy winters,...

As we get older, it seems more and more difficult to make new and meaningful friends. If you don't already have a group of friends, then getting out from behind our computers and televisions or out of our comfort zone is a little scary. That's one thing that I really like about Northern Colorado...

We see so much in magazines this time of year about losing weight and getting into shape. Summer's almost here and so is swimsuit season! Sheesh! It's all so intimidating. We have to look a certain way and act a certain way and even talk in a certain way. But, what if we all accepted each other...

Well, the grass is greener and the weather is certainly warming up. I, for one, am grateful for Spring finally getting here! I've been antsy to get outdoors and mountain bike, hike, and do all the things that I love outdoors. I did go for a mountain bike ride last night with Team BOB (Babes on...

Getting outdoors is not only a way for me to stay active, but it is also a way for me to slow down and really stop and enjoy the world around me. My work, my email, my computer will all be back in my office when I return, and to get out and be outdoors for even the shortest amount of time, is...

I consider myself still relatively new to town, so I'm still discovering new places and things to do around town. I rode my bicycle into Old Town this morning, somewhat reluctantly. I couldn't find a really good reason to drive, so I bundled up and saddled up. It was a bit chilly riding, and I...

I often talk to people who think that it is difficult to fit exercise into their daily lives. I try to remind them that any little bit helps throughout the day. You don't have to go to the gym to get your workout in. A workout in a day might be to just walk a few blocks to lunch, which may be a...

Supporting our trails is so much more than just getting out and working on trail days. When we decide to support trails in our communities, we also vow to use the trails properly by not littering, widening the trails, or using them when they are muddy. Using designated trails in our Parks is...
