Centennial Cone

Snow on the divide:
The rather large group gets ready and we split into two. You can guess where I was. 😉
Finally, a ride that starts with a downhill. What were they thinking?
But, soon the downhill ends and so begins the climb. Not too bad though. The whole place fluctuates a few hundred feet. A bit of exposure and a lot of blind corners can certainly catch one off guard.
This was a really enjoyable trail. Nothing technical, which you don't always need.
Again, it seems like more up than down but when a trail looks as good as this, who cares!
Some great views all around and a wonderful weather day. I dressed a little warm because it was 36F in the morning. Next time I'll just grin and bear the cold.
Eventually, I think we reach the top and check out the cone. Well, I think it's the cone. They all look like cones to me.
A fast downhill (with many blind corners – someone is going to get killed here) to the east parking lot.
Then it's some doubletrack downhill back to the cars in the east lot.
We finished with lunch a Kermits (a "biker" bar down the road).
