I grew up in Colorado and learned to sail their too... Little lake called
Soda Lakes in Lakewood... Brad knows the place... All I can say is bring a
bigger sail 6.7-8.0 ish and when the sky turns black hope you have the right
size set up and get ready for bout 30 minutes of fun and don't blink cause
you might miss it... It can be fun but you can grow old waiting for the
wind... Colorado=Storm Sailing at best...
Lake McConoghey (sp?) in nebraska can be a blast for the weekend just bring
lots of beer and suntan lotion and don't expect bay area conditions and all
will be well.... and most definately get a mountain bike...
cheers
Dave Polzer
