Today I got to go out and complete the ride that snow stopped me from completing last week.
Leaving my house, I climb up Mountain Avenue, a mountain residential road which mostly climbs to Mt. Ester trailhead. Mt. Ester trail is a 40 minute push the bike over rocks and roots and grades I preferred not to measure. At the saddle I turned right and soon passed my previous turn around point. Great single track! I rode this ride as if I were Whinny the Pooh on expotition. Lots of stops and enjoying the near absence of motors. Then it was on to the Pikes Peak access road, rather like a fire road, but for the maintenance of our reservoirs. Though 4/5th of the total distance, from here it was only 1/3rd the total time (estimating, I didn't track anything). Then it was a grand fast winding mountain descent on paved road down to Hwy 24 and even faster return home from just west of Woodland Park. All said, five wondrous hours of expotition on the bike! http://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/8733131222/in/photostream With abandon, Patrick www.MindYourHeadCoop.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
