NOB HILL--Mike Moye is part of the early morning crowd at the Flying Star. He is what I would call an adventure traveller. Some trips, like bicycle touring, Mike and I have done together. Two years ago, to celebrate my retirement from APS we biked from Arizona to Texas across New Mexico during an unseasonably warm spell in early June. (It was 105 degrees when we rolled into Roswell). Last year Mike, Ed English and I rode from Durango, Colorado to Palomas, Mexico. By the way, this is full-loaded bicycle touring we're talking about. This past June Mike and I rode from Durango to Pagosa Springs, over Wolf Creek Pass, over Trout Creek Pass, up through Fairplay and Alma, over Hoosier Pass (11,582), through Breckenridge, Kremmling, Walden, and finally the Wyoming border. Next year we will continue through Wyoming, coming out through Yellowstone National Park into Montana. Eventually, we hope to have ridden from Mexico to Canada...including Banff and Jasper. In fact, at the end of October Mike and I are going to ride down to Tucson. Yes...we are perhaps just a little bit nutz.
Mike also has climbed Mt. Rainier. He has put up a great record of his last trip on a website called Roadrunner Tracks. Check it out. It even has a little video in it. There is a link to our trip through Colorado also, but it looks like we'll have to wait for that one. The last picture on the website has another Flying Star regular in it: Greg Rocca. Frank Dougherty, whose law office is near Silver and Yale is sitting next to Greg in the back row. This site is a wonderful record of the trip. You can almost feel the cold and hear the wind howling. Great job, Mike!
