West Magnolia (again)

I went w/ Geoff and Dan Walkes. I took a few wrong turns and Dan W went over the handlebars on a fireroad (pictured). The coolest part for me was riding down Magnolia road. There is a great single track for a while and then the road is super fast.
Here's Dan W's map of the ride

rock feature first time

Clay helped me put a rock in place earlier in the week, and today I put more rocks together and rode it. It's fairly narrow and taller than my bike.

Elk Meadows/Bergen Peak



Camped at Boss Mine Campground just north of Central City. Got there late with just enough light to get the tent set up. Woke up to 30 dogs barking around 7:30.







We rode to the high point in the photo. Started around 7,500' and peaked around 10,000'.

Betasso/Benjamin

The initial uphill beat us all again. Missed the first few minutes on the Garmin.

Miller Rock

Randee came with and ran the trail. We all finished at the same time. I wrecked in one of the creek crossings and my seat popped off. Spend some time at home getting it on there right again because I wasn't having much luck with it on the trail.

Betasso - 5 - opening day of new loop

It rained earlier in the day so trail conditions and temperature were ideal. I borrowed Nick's old bike and got a flat but it was a good 9mi ride.

broken bike, hogback near red rocks

This morning at the base of Hogback trail we tried to adjust my front brakes but some threads were stripped. We also noticed that my frame was torn where it was once dented. Clay and Nick still rode the trail and said it was good and technical.

Betasso - 4 - Dan, Clay, Nick

I broke a spoke on Saturday and my replacement wheel was a little big.

Apex Trail - 1

Clay and I biked Apex trail in Golden this morning. We were thinking the weather might be bad but it was great. Clay banged up a calf muscle but otherwise it was super fun.

Hall Ranch - 1

The windiest we've seen it. I think our time up was 58mins. Clay?

Betasso - 2

Our first tuesday night this season. Clay was close to making the uphill. A tree grabbed him by the pump.

2011: another season (Betasso-1)

Clay and I biked Betasso this morning at 9AM-10AM. The trail was in good condition but it was chilly. My bike thermometer was 48° at Geoff's house, 40° at the base of the link trail, and then 37° & 38° during the ride. It didn't feel so great on my lungs and in my ears but I warmed up on the downhill and Clay gave me a ride home.
