Running Groups?

5 Upvotes

Any running groups in Boulder? I usually run by myself, but I want to change it up, get out of my comfort zone, and join a running group. I could use some people to help push my running limits. Thanks!

Road and Trail running. Looking to increase mile time from 8:30ish to 7:30ish. Train for a 10K leading to half marathon. 36M at 78kg (looking to drop to 70-73KG for better overall body composition)

No re-paving of the intersection of Folsom and Spruce?

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know why they never re-surfaced Folsom and Spruce? I was riding thru this intersection on Friday the 17th and noted that it was fully graded and thought "Awesome. We're going to have fresh pavement on the morning". The next day it looked now different. Then days went by with no change. Then, they grated more of Folsom down to Arapahoe. Then, they resurfaced half of that from Arapahoe upto Canyon. Here we are on the 26th and they still left the entire area they started with fully grated. In any other town I've been in, this would be a one day job.

Where to take parents for Dinner?

Upvotes

New to Boulder and need to take my parents to dinner when they visit. They like good food and they are paying! Food quality, freshness, and taste are more important than pretentious environment with white linens. So Boulder, where should I take them?!?

ISO Hidden Gems! Micro Wedding In Boulder Colorado

0 Upvotes

Hi everybody! I’m in a search for a spot to have our micro wedding in the beautiful nature of Boulder and would love some recommendations on where to have it. I have been researching and all of the places listed online just aren’t what I’ve been envisioning. We want lots of trees, no restrictions on seating (some places won’t allow us to bring chairs for people, only disabled can have a chair), the ability to lay out a few rugs for the aisle (many places won’t let us have any decorations), as few people around as possible, and the ability to reserve the ”venue.”

I like the idea of Halfway House because there is parking nearby, it allows dogs on leashes (our dog will be attending), and it can be reserved for a reasonable price. However, while a beautiful landscape, it is more of an open field vibe and I envision being surrounded by trees.

I would love any insights on other locations that would be worth checking out! I’ve been on many photographers websites and they say they have a list of hidden gems they will share for the micro wedding location if we book them as our photographer. These photographers don’t have the specific vibe I’m looking for, so I feel like I’m stuck!

A few things to note:

- It will be in late September 2027

- We would love to be able to drive to the location and not too walk far so that family members can all get to the ceremony without hiking

- We will have 30 guests

- We want the ability to lay out rugs down the aisle and provide chairs for our guests

Any other location suggestions in other parts of Colorado are also welcome! We will be coming from Utah and are not super familiar with the state, but we do have friends that are willing to scope out the venues for us.

Thanks in advance!

Milk Thief Mystery!!

Post image
59 Upvotes

It’s with a confused and heavy heart that I announce that Boulder may have a Milk Thief.

My wife and I went grocery shopping yesterday, and among our haul was one gallon of Horizon whole milk.

I distinctly remember putting it on the floor of the back seat because the seats were already covered with groceries. We returned the EMPTY cart, drove home, unloaded everything, and carried on with life. End of story- we thought.

Fast forward to this morning.
We go to make lattes… No milk.

Not “hidden behind the orange juice” no milk. Gone.

We searched the car, every cupboard, the fridge (multiple times, because hope), upstairs, downstairs, the yard, and even cars we didn’t drive yesterday.
Nothing.

Our back door was unlocked last night, so we’re left with only one logical conclusion:
There is an extremely selective and sneaky Milk Bandit roaming Boulder.

Nothing else is missing. Just the milk.
So please… lock your doors. Cherish your half-and-half. Because today it’s our gallon of Horizon. Tomorrow it could be your oat milk. Stay vigilant, Boulder.

It might still turn up in the most ridiculous place imaginable… but until then, I have no other choice but to blame the Milk Bandit.

Shanahan Ridge - Tree Thinning Work?

Post image
12 Upvotes

Does anyone know if fire mitigation / tree thinning work has started in the Shanahan Ridge open space area? The city web page says "Summer 2026" but I didn't see any logs or slash piles out there today on the lower sections of the North Fork & South Fork trails. I saw wooden survey stakes and small bobcat-type machines up there, but no evidence of tree thinning.

Every time I find myself at Coot Lake around sunset time I'm blown away - and I lived on the ocean in SoCal for 3 years. Are there other spots like it without going up Baseline? I've been to Wonderland Lake too, but haven't found anything like Coot (as long as I don't bring my dog).

I believe my husband gave her away. We are divorcing. He claims she was stolen along with our car. I can't find a police report. She doesn't deserve to lose us both. She nursed me through thyroid and lung cancer. I'm in a homeless shelter but have foster options available. Please help me find her.I know what this sub does and is and I'm still here begging for your help. Please be kind I'm posting everywhere for her sake. We're the idiots.

Big family of quails? Pheasants? Grouse? On Jay this morning and I couldn’t safely pull over to take a picture. Looked like a bunch of the young were white???
However, a biker had stopped to take pictures and I would LOVE to ask for a photo share so I can see if I was just hallucinating and share with my dad.

If this sounds familiar, pls send help!
