It was a fine, clean, crisp fall day after the usual weekly torrential rains, at least for 2004, for the club’s first ever October populaire. The smell of sage on US 36 and the fall colors of Apple Valley made for a pleasant ride.

Peter Noris, retiring Central/South Florida brevet administrator and a new rider to the club, missed the Mead checkpoint and the turn to CR13 and continued straight towards Kansas. When he discovered his error, he was so diligent that he retraced the route to get his brevet card signed in Mead.

The day after a foot or more of snow blanketed the Front Range, hardy riders enjoyed a sunny ride but a cold one above 9,000 ft., which this Populaire reached twice (at Ward and Wind River Pass, near Estes Park).

Big turnout on a nice spring day for our first Populaire, with 29 finishers, many of them riding together at quite a brisk pace (18 finishing the 72 miles in under four hours). Thanks to Val Phelps for leading this Populaire.
