Deer Creek Wall of Shame

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!

A singletrack mind...: HALL RANCH !!!
