$100 a Day Challenge: October 2024 Income Report – Entry #5

I didn’t track how many internal links I added because I would have spent way too much time tracking the edits – but it’s safe to assume I touched over 100 products. I updated 6 collections by improving their descriptions, added a collection image and links to products.

The promise of fresh snow reinvigorated our spirits, leading us to enjoy the less crowded slopes of Silvercreek. The trip was a mix of challenging weather and joyful skiing, perfectly embodying the unpredictable yet rewarding nature of winter sports.

Gravel Bike Ride: Old Falls River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park

Kim surprised me with a trip to Fricso, Colorado over Labor Day weekend 2023.   We took the gravel bikes with us on this trip and were looking for a good gravel rides.   I wanted to visit Estes Park (also knowns at the Rocky Mountain National Park) and we found a gravel ride review for Old Falls River Road.

The reviews said it was a challenging but beautiful ride.  We watched a Youtube video review and decided, why not, let’s do it.

We drove down to Estes Park and as usual, ended up with a later start than planned.  That seems to be our MO these days.
