Oh, and please keep this a secret (shhhh we have enough out-of-staters): in many parts of Colorado, while the nights are pretty darned cold; we have many warm days, even in winter, even after snow. It is not unusual to see people in a sweatshirt and shorts in wintertime, out riding their bikes. My husband points out that you can ride motorcycles most of the 12 months a year here.

Yes, I know. Its a warm enough here in Salida that I still can wear a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts in early November. The 14ers to the west and the mountains to the north , east and south keep the climate mild year around.
