beer #83
Drinking this as I catch up on the blog. Pretty decent. Three Skulls Ales Naked IPA from Northwest Brewing Company in Pacific, WA.
Nothing this morning save for a walk around the block with the dog. Rough weekend with the cold weather, a visit from the mother-in-law, and the big birthday party. Mediocre lunch break at CityRock (it's spring break so parents use the gym as a babysitter). Did get in a good ten miles on the Garden Roads after work though.
Not sure if I mentioned my attempted bike ride to Salida last Friday. The wind on HWY 115 was horrible and I battled it all damn day. Took me 3.5 hours just to get to the intersection of 115 and 50. So I knew I wasn't going to make it the whole way, but I ended up getting through Canon City and almost to the entrance of the Royal Gorge before $100 caught me in the car. 57 miles, my second longest ride ever.
Looking at another ridiculous failure this weekend as Marc and I are planning on leaving the Springs on Friday afternoon and biking to Left Hand Brewing in Schlongmont for the annual Hops and Handrails shindig. Not a big fan of anything snow related but I do loves me some beer.
Speaking of beer, they announced the brewery lineup for Telluride Blues & Brews. No Colorado Springs breweries. I'd throw up a big fit about how we're always given the shaft on the Front Range brewing scene, but holy shit check out what I'll get to drink that weekend:

Thanx 4 the line up 4 Blues & Brews!! Score!! My question is this….. Whats your take on the Three Skulls I.P.A.???? How does it compare 2 the Ranger I.P.A.??? Also, congrats on grinding out a few miles in the wind!!
Three Skulls IPA was OK, but there are many other Colorado IPAs I'd place ahead of it, including Ranger.
