Finishing July

Wow summer is going fast as it always seems to for us; we have been busy as usual and with the only two races I am doing this year done it is just time to ride a lot and enjoy the prime season for the high country.

After last post we went to a wedding in Portland Maine which was a great time with a lot of drinking involved; we did however rent some road bikes and went for a ride along the coast.

The 5 days off from riding was good (little longer than I would have like), but since then I have been getting after it again.  Got some good rides in the past two weeks.

Last weekend we went out to Buffalo Creek and then Indian Creek the following day.

Indian Creek

Really like this ride....there is a good variety on it plus some of the lusher forest on the Front Range.  To bad Denver Water has to shut down Waterton Canyon for the next two years to remove sediment from the reservoir.

Rounding out the big rides was a 55 mile effort with 6,000 feet of climbing yesterday up in Breckenridge.  I really love the riding up there and continue to ride new trail, as well as starting to figure out some more of the underground network that exists up there.  Really nice having this only an hour and fifteen minutes from Golden.
