Duchess of Weaselskin

It was a windy, Sunday afternoon in Durango when NW Okie went to watch the Iron Horse Criterium and Cruisers in downtown Durango, Colorado. That windy weather blew in such a cool-down for Monday. They say we are in for a hard freeze tonight here in Southwest Colorado, Monday, 30 May 2011. Do not let me forget to enclose my plants and vegetables in my greenhouse early this Monday evening!

Those images above, on the left and right are just a few of the photos NW Okie snapped with her digital camera and cell phone yesterday afternoon. I hear tell they (NW Okie & David) took a break from the wind and cyclists events to catch a cool one (Guinness Stout) at the local Irish Pub in downtown Durango, Colorado where the Pub was having a "Jam Session" of Irish music. I will stick the "Jam Session" towards the end of this "Duchess of Weaselskin" feature with more photos of the "Iron Horse" criterium and cruiser pics.

NW Okie did not get any photos of the train race between cyclists and the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge railway. The train-bicycle race from Durango to Silverton had the roads blocked to travelers, except the bicyclists. To get pictures you might have been able to ride the train to Silverton from Durango.

During the early part of the afternoon Sunday, they let the bike cruisers decorate their bikes and themselves and give it a cruiser try around the criterium course in downtown Durango. There were some ingenious bikes and costumes. There were five Scotsmen wearing their kilts whom the judges declared the winners of the "Cruiser" because of their style of riding in sync and I suppose for their costumes.
