Front Rangers - Bicycle Club According to Clay Worthington, National Talent ID Coach / U25 Men’s Endurance Track Coach for USA Cycling and a volunteer coach for the Front Rangers, the roots of the club were formed in the Denver area around 1991 by acting Police Chief Jerry Whitman and local businessman Steve Syzmanski. The club had a simple mission: positively impact local youth. Early successes paved the way for a Boulder chapter in 1993 and a Colorado Springs chapter in 1997. Each chapter originally had the support and oversight of local police officers. |

Rocky Mountain Wildlife Foundation Sanctuary It is a remarkable experience to look into a wolf’s eyes. At the Rocky Mountain Wildlife Foundation sanctuary, pregnant wolf Ladyhawke crosses to where a visitor stands with her hands against the fence. Ladyhawke stands up and places her front paws on the chain-link so their eyes are on the same level, perhaps ten inches from each other. Ladyhawke’s are deep brown, brilliant, alive with intelligence and a deeper, primal wisdom. |

Summer Picnics and Tailgating I think everyone of us has tucked back in our minds a special day when we left behind the boundaries of the kitchen table, packed up all kinds of goodies and headed for a favorite place outside. You may have ended up beside a creek, at a beautiful park, or just in the back of a truck at a big event. As casual as a picnic is, so is the food. Sandwiches wrapped in paper and soup in a thermos are more than acceptable. In fact, when we are totally relaxed and breathing in the fresh air I believe it all tastes better! I have gathered some recipes out of my recipe box to put in your picnic basket so you, too, can make your special place a little more special. |

The Best BBQ Joints It’s getting hotter, the grass is coming up, kiddie pools are coming out, and I want barbeque. So I decided to go on a little barbie tour of Colorado Springs and Canon City and to share my experiences with the world. It’s a rough job, but someone’s got to endure hours of chomping away for the greater good in order to educate the public about the best ribs, briskets, cobblers, and so forth. |
