Good morning, Golden! This week’s issue is a little lean, my friends, which can only mean one thing: everyone is conserving energy for the red, white, and blue chaos ahead.
Don’t forget to bike to work on Wednesday, and keep those wheels handy because next week brings the USA-themed Golden Bike Cruise. There’s also a full moon (the “strawberry moon”) next Monday…just thought you should know in case Golden starts feeling a little extra sparkly and unhinged.
And while I’m a little late to the party: happy 167th birthday, Golden! Between Golden celebrating another trip around the sun, Colorado turning 150, and the nation marking 250 years of independence, 2026 is the year of big birthdays. 🎂
