The Last Snow Cone

An even numbered weekend day brings the mountain bikers out to play. Yeah, I just made that up, but so true at Centennial Cone. What a great way to spend the day on Patrol with my favorite people. I also played with a bunch of video cameras.
Mayhem Gulch was just starting to get busy as I start to climb.
Fast Belch

I had JCOS Patrol refresher training today, so getting an early ride in was out of the question. After finishing up at 12, I stopped by the bike shop to pick up some lube and find out if Stu was still out (he was demoing a bike). Turns out he was and I thought he was going to White Ranch. I figured I’d try and catch him on his way back down.
The Plan

I love it when a plan comes together. The perfect execution of a timeline. The most productive project that any Gantt chart freak would salivate at. A facilitated dream.
Today’s plan was one of those. Short, sweet, and to the point. Work, ride, eat wings, drink beer, and then drink more beer. What could be better? Ok, maybe less work, but the beer? Oh, the beer. And, I still drink it as I type. But, let’s move on. I’ll save the pictures of the food and beer until the end.
The ride is the important part here. Yes, the ride. A picture perfect ride. My Van Gogh.
Mixed Bag

We decided on Heil and Picture Rock for today’s ride. The morning started off ok. It was warm, the sun was shining, but by the time the guys had stopped at my house the weather was changing. A couple of drops, but North looked ok. So, off we went. It was cloudy as we headed up Wapiti. The climb was nice, there were plenty of people out and about, but we should have known changes were afoot. Keith left his helmet at the car, so he went back. Stu and I continued up to wait for him.
Patrolling the Sistahs

And yet another beautiful day in Colorado. After spending a week in NJ, I really needed to get out and breath some fresh air. What better way than to combine riding and giving back a little to the people who maintain our great trails. Love them or hate them, we are lucky to have access to some of the best dirt in the world.
