  1. Ever ride a trail that looks like it has not ever been ridden by a mountain biker? The horses
    overused and abused this gem in the middle section by riding it when wet. Yeah TJ, it was worse than
    the horse toilet of a trail near your place.

    The top third sure was nice though.

    I expected to hear "The Rain Song" when I saw this.

    I did find evidence in the form of a pedal reflector in a particularly rugged section of this trail.
    I was only left wondering how much their hiking to riding ratio was.

    The bottom third made up for the trails course in the middle, as it gave way to super buff and
    twisty downhill. No pics here, only a bit of haulin' ass.

    Once down in the Uncompaghre Wilderness. What an amazing place. You probably get to ride even
    remoter stuff than that.

    That looks like a nice stretch of trail.

    That would be considered poaching if you were riding in a designated wilderness area.

    Straight from the Houses of The Holy...lovely colors. Just need a naked baby climbing on some rocks
    or something.

    Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind
    should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

    aiee! now I've got to go and revisit all my Led Zeppelin albums again, just got the DVD recently
    which took me back a few decades, but so far resisted the need to get the record player and 12"s out
    of the loft! Martin

    Yes. Nice and soft so you feel like you have a flat: mattb.netclimb1.jpg

    Looks like a tough one. Good thing there was a payoff. I hate it when I torture myself looking for
    that payback and never get it.

    Definitely. Near the top in a thick conifer forest, the trail was literally paved with small fir
    cones. It was all squooshy and a bummer on the climb, but the descent was a magic carpet ride.

    True that. I was pretty stoked to be rippin' after the beating.
