Need to get out?!

Wow after a busy week I finally get to sit down and write!!!

With the crazy Colorado weather starting to turn for calmer warmer days, I've started to get the itch to go outside. With many people getting the urge to experience the outdoors I thought of putting together some things to do in the coming months.

For you active nuts I probably won't have to remind you of the Bolder Boulder. This Memorial Day event promises a great time while keeping in shape. During the 10k run you will see competitive runners, costumed runners, and you might even see someone leap frog to the end. Running may seem like a drag to some but with the route lined with a cheering gallery, hand outs, and beer what could be boring about that?!

Running not your thing but still want to get out? How about biking for a cause? This year the Road to Victory Bicycle Classic will be held May 23rd. This event is also held in Boulder and benefits the Davis Phinney foundation for Parkinsons. The 40 or 60 mile ride starts at the Boulder Beer Company and covers the beautiful Boulder County terrain. If you want to be active and be inspired you won't want to miss this.

Need some creative inspiration? The First Friday Walks through the Santa Fe art district can definitely supply some of that. Featuring local artist galleries along Santa Fe are filled with people, energy, and booze. What could be better?! As the sun sets the sidewalks become filled with people, but you will be amazed by the amount of talent right here in Denver.

Maybe you're just looking for a great place to eat. Although L.A. and New York are known to be food capitals of the U.S., Denver is coming up in the ranks. Food and Wine has published their Top 10 Best New Chefs for 2010 and has highlighted a local talent, Alex Seidel of Fruition. Fruition features a great menu and is at the forefront of a growing trend to look locally for produce. Not only do they see the importance of shopping locally, but they've gone a step further and started their own Fruition Farm in Colorado.

With spring just getting kicked off who could forget baseball? Downtown is sure to be busy with Opening Day for the Denver Rockies.
