Woke up to yet another beautiful day here in Boulder…and got out for a short miserable ride.  Yep, I felt like complete piss…could have sworn I was riding someone elses bike…but hey the weather was great!

 The views of Longs Peak in the background were rather lovely also!

Speaking of the weather Frank and I got into a little sun bathing debate while out on a ride yesterday.  To make a long story short Frank, for the most part, concludes that the sun is the devil and strikes down up thee with cancer!  

I do not totally disagree with Frank however, I like the sun! For some reason I have always thought that sun bathing gives me good sensations and allows me relax so I don’t feel the need to clean and organize shit!  

Apparently I am not a complete nutter because, ”Recent studies have found that the skin can produce endorphins, which led researchers to theorize that UV exposure stimulates endorphin-production to create a sense of well-being in tanners.” (Baumann)

On top of this I utilize the sun’s rays for saddle sore prevention….yes even the “taint” needs some sun. However, I don’t think the neighbors need to see the taint getting some sun…unless maybe…..
