Standing there next to the spot where Amy Dombroski lost her life exactly one year ago simply broke me all over again.  But being surrounded by those who continue to be inspired by her put my grief back into perspective.  It is not every day where a person – living or dead – has this much positive worldwide impact.

Fruita and Moab are wonderful spring and fall escapes, and we’re lucky to have these desert oases so close to our Rocky Mountain home. But there’s more to western Colorado and Utah than mountain biking on 18 Road and the Brand trails or cruising through Arches National Park. There’s road biking. One of my favorite ways to explore the red rocks of southern Utah is on two skinny wheels. (aspendailynews.com)
