Colorado Trail

got up at 4:30 this morning so I could get out the door at 5a, and over at the dredge by twilight for a long ride on some more classic trails. Dennis, Scott and I rode from Horseshoe Gulch and then up Blair Witch to Hayes to the Soda Creek loop. Scott continues on home while Dennis and I climbed up the switchbacks on the way up Westridge. 24 great miles of singletrack, in just under 3 hrs of riding. Passing through the Keystone Ranch area, we saw a big herd of elk, over 23 total. Easily my wildlife highlight of the summer. Hearing their breath and steps across the meadow is quite impressive.
