BC t.i.t.s. ride



Terry President of COMBA joined us! Was 11 of us to start, then evil mGe's crank arm came off and that was the end of the ride after 1.5 miles in.

The rest of us headed up Baldy! on over to descend buck gulch wooo hooo! passing piles of bones in the trail and many downed trees made for some interesting surprises! Oh, Andy's tire rolled off the rim so minor rest option. Then climb up Strawberry Jack, good climb haven't been on this side in two or more years, let alone in the dark, great trail. Need to loop over here more often! Then up to Charlies and the nice long descent to 543 back to truck for a cold one. Very mild night and best part no snow! Tacky trails mmmmm good.
















Ended up with about 23 miles and 2890' of vertical which also equals about 2890' of some fast fun descending as well with a little bushwacking and creative riding to duck under fallen trees! Can't wait to get back up and do it again!

Green Mountain still muddy

Quick morning ride before weekend of baseball games. Rode with Mark Stanley, Surprised with the warm temps how much moisture is still up there. We found some tacky trails but also a few muddy sections (ride through it people not around it!) Very easy to call it a day after the first climb with the light rain and mud, but decided best to climb it again and look for some drier trail. Summit loop was surprisingly in good shape, so reversed it and headed back down on box o rox always good to climb bor and descend it !

Looking forward to some drier trail conditions around the front range soon!

Finally Rode Picture Rock

Got up for a thursday daytime ride! Temps were nice and warm. First time up at Heil Ranch, nice warm up climb then off to the rocky descent to the lookout. Finally getting in Erics birthday ride after snow put a damper on it last weekend. (except for his 60 mile solo fixie ride) Some more fun swoopy singletrack to another rocky descent on wild turkey hooking up with picture rock. This is a sweet trail, rocky up top fast and flowy at the bottom. Had to get the old car picture. Then on to Hall Ranch around nelson loop and back to picture rock. Nice gradual climb out of the valley then feeling it up top. Another rocky descent back to the TH. totalling 35 miles with +3840' of climbing. Good Ride!!

Thanks for the water eric!

ok, we need the moisture

I get it! t.i.t.s. ride on thurs. was taken to path and roads. Still a nice 17 mile spin with a few of the normal group. Rode through bear creek lake park and hit some path winding back through lakewood. Bike is rolling smoothly again, so far. Baseball snowed out which means an extra day of work on sat.

Short roadie ride this am, little underdressed but nice to get on a bicycle again!

Have a great week!
