- Role: setting
- In the article: A short Strava-style post from Fort Collins in 2025: the author takes the train, detours past Whitewater Park, spots a cormorant, and notes there are two different ‘Coffee Outside’ groups that meet at the flower gardens on Friday mornings. The sibling post ‘Coffee Outside.’ (28 March 2025, inside ‘Lefthand Berthoud Roubaix’) says ‘Back drinking coffee at the flower gardens with friends’.
- Why it matters: The garden is the regular meeting spot of the weekly Friday coffee ride in the author’s Fort Collins life, but it gets only a passing mention.
- Real vs. fictional: The text does not name the real place; the pin is a best guess.
- Where is it?: ⚠️ best-guess. Clues in the text: “two different Coffee Outside groups that meet at the flower gardens on Friday morning”; post tagged colorado, mentions ‘Fort Collins’ and Whitewater Park; run log wording ‘CSU flower garden’ (the exact CSU wording was not found in the two posts read). Reference works: CSU runs the Annual Flower Trial Garden on its Fort Collins campus (a well-known public garden); Wikipedia en has no article for it, only for Colorado State University (40.5762,-105.0808). Source doc is a best match, not confirmed: the log’s ‘CSU flower garden’ wording may come from another Mostly Bikes post. Chosen: CSU Annual Flower Trial Garden, Colorado State University, Fort Collins — Only ‘flower gardens’ in the text; CSU trial garden is the likely reading, with the campus as a coarse point. Alternatives: The Gardens on Spring Creek (city-run, 2145 Centre Ave, OSM way 230175757 at 40.5613,-105.0856) is the other flower garden in Fort Collins; the doc does not say CSU.
