A singletrack mind...: EPIC day. Nederland and our first team picnic !!!...: "Epic- heroic or grand in scale or character. This was such a day. Look at his happy group of riders that were ready to bust their lungs ..."

40 miles from Boulder
Rode Deer Creek Canyon on Tuesday after work. Afternoon started off WRONG! I changed into shorts and sandals anxious to get out on the bike only to find a flat on the wagon. Another screw in a brand new tire- the second in 5 weeks. Got the tire changed and raced out to Deer Creek. I had not ridden this loop in 3-4 years. I rode up the plymouth trail to red mesa loop and decided to keep climbing clockwise. Awesome decision because that led to the most excellent downhill singletrack. Stats stacked up to a 45 minute moderate climb. 15 minute loop on red mesa. And a 15 minute descent. The highlight was riding down the wall of shame, I didn't expect to do that so smoothly. I'll have to get a new rear tire before I can seriously attempt to ride up the wall. FELT GREAT!
