The Long Loop

I roll along on an out of the ordinary cool summer morning. The wind and clouds of the night before are long gone, only to be replaced by the deep blue sky that creates an even greener hue than usual.

Winter Park

by on Jul.30, 2012, under Colorado, Ride Reports

A chance to slowly tick off the places I have never been to, in Colorado.  Seven years, and I have never skied or mountain bikes in Winter Park.  I figured the Colorado Freeride Festival would be  good opportunity to do a little riding and watch people jump their bikes off of stuff.  I scored a cheap room at the resort, so why not?

Having reached the hotel earlier than check-in on Friday. it was a great opportunity to kill the time with a ride.  I searched out the closest trailhead as the thunderstorms rolled their way in.  With lightening striking near by, I waited out the storm and ascended the fresh most singletrack of Chainsaw trail.

Gorillas in the Mist

I’m happy for the rain we have had over the past couple of days.  It provided a nice break to nearly a month of temperatures in the nineties.  It could probably rain in feet and the trails would just soak it up at this point.  So, the few inches we have gotten, just hold down the dust.

We did manage to sneak in a ride this morning at Golden Gate Canyon State Park.  With the low clouds rolling over the hills, it felt more like riding in Scotland than in Colorado.
