Will do. What makes it tricky is I have to convince the wife and mother in law it's worth a multi hour stop. They'll have golf clubs with them, so hopefully it will work out.Quote:

You can actually use the golf course club house as a trailhead. The Uptown Trail goes right to it and should be finished by the beginning of February. The club house is open to the public and makes for a great mid ride adult beverage stop.Quote:

Really did not realize how awesome this place is. Spent a day on shelf road climbing and a couple riding. A lot to do up this road.
Loving the desert stoke while we are in a Pineapple Express here in SW MT!! Keep it coming!!

After my first season in Aspen, we did a road trip in May of 1982. We took Windsurfers and rigid Mt. Bikes, to all the reservoirs, down the Colorado River.
It was the first year Lake Powell was full. Now it's 29%.
After leaving Lake Mead, we went through Kingman, on the way to Lake Havasu.
At the time, I thought I'd never want to go back.
But RA13 has changed my mind.
Nice temps in the mountains this weekend, even after dark

Cool old growth manzanita up top

Wind up top was crazy, got blown off the trail many times

Dropped behind the ridge. No wind, but snow, downed trees and heavy brush made going just as slow

Fun chunky descent to end the ride

And Palm Canyon before the holidays. Perfect day out there

Stumbled onto a really great trail on Sunday. I was riding a trail system that I usually only ride with my son, as it has some flowier, easier stuff than our hometown system. I was somewhat regretting my decision when I stumbled on a "Wrongway, downhill only" sign on a trail the wasn't on Trailforks. I rode back and forth and couldn't find the connector, so ended up hiking it uphill ( I literally stopped maybe 30 yards from where I eventually found it connected). It turned out to be just a super well build trail. It had a great mix of flowy stuff - the bottom is basically a banked turn little jump trail- and tech-ish stuff - the top has a lot of tight switchbacks and little rock rolls across gullies. Just a really well built trail and I as grateful to stumble upon it.
Despite a series of recent storms just a touch of snow on the south facing mountains

Streams flowing in every little wash right now though. I'd never seen water in this one before

Recent gift and found some nice groomed trails nearby after a foot of snow in the past 3 days
South facing stuff is melted out here in town!!

Sweet. Has it been dry up there? What a weird La Nina year so far.Quote:

There were a dozen low spots that were knee-deep fuckin water, no way around. Rode through the first one without knowing the depth and got pissed, and then charged into the second one all hot and committed to just finish the shit and not turn around. Shoes going SPOOSH SPLOOSH SPLOOSH SPLOOSH pedaling through the cold water. Was laughing like a maniac by the last of em... no wonder the trail guys are about to decommission this one. Sorry, bike.
HA! No harm done then tho....Quote:
