i'll be riding tomorrow afternoon for shizzle if no rain. White ranch probably in the neighborhood of 430pm

**p-tex** · 06-03-2005, 11:48 AM

Damn - can't quite make it there in time. However just in case - what are you riding these days?

**Crinkle** · 06-03-2005, 01:50 PM

i ride a jamis dakar, but due to weather restrictions it looks like evil thunderstorms will ruin todays ride, mother nature stinks sometimes

anyone up for tommorow(tuesday)?

**p-tex** · 06-08-2005, 02:59 PM

Leaving the office any minute...

Gonna go to Hall for a quick lap - be there about 4:30 if anybody else can make it. Red Chevy Colorado & a Klien.

Had a great ride at Hall today. Not too crowded, not too hot, blasted it pretty dam fast and followed it up with a nice steak on the grill!

how about friday day? White ranch

**Art Vandelay** · 06-08-2005, 09:38 PM

I think I'm headed to White ranch on sat. but it's more to find a good beginner ride for a school trip. We're lookin for something around 6-8 miles and easy to moderate with few steep hills. We're in Golden. any recs? thanks

i would advise against white ranch as a beginner ride. Go with a loop at Green Mountain for a beginner ride. white ranch from the bottom to the very top is 1700' of climbing, you can opt out of the near the very top of belcher after 1400-1500', technical hurdles here and there on certain trails. Unless your students are into suffering, i would take them to Green mtn. Another good one is Lair of the Bear. check http://www.co.jefferson.co.us/ext/dp...ac/leadpg2.htm
for details on Jeffco parks

Z and Art, lets say noon tomorrow at the bottom parking lot, i'll be there regardless. If its thundering I won't be there, but a few clouds won't scare me away.

**Art Vandelay** · 06-09-2005, 06:28 PM

Can't do noon tomorrow. I have to head into work a bit early. I did some of white ranch today and had a blast so would definately like to head back sometime this weekend or next week.

Z · 06-09-2005, 08:11 PM

ahhh white ranch is cool ive ridden that, a bitch for the climbs but some fun downhilling.

looks like ill either be skiing or getting my car fixed. next time, technical climbing is my downfall anyways..

**Art Vandelay** · 06-13-2005, 05:54 PM

OK what's the word on rides this week? Just turned my DH bike into this:

and I wanna do some more trails.

**p-tex** · 06-14-2005, 08:15 AM

Summit Mtn Challenge Race #2 - Wednesday 5pm Frisco Nordic Center

www.mavsports.com for details.

I'll be there. Fun local race series if anybody is interested.

**Dr. Gaper** · 06-14-2005, 09:37 AM

I just hit Meyer's Ranch. Easy but fun. Uncrowded on a weekday. Nice smooth singletrack. My dog liked it too.

**Crinkle** · 06-14-2005, 01:48 PM

should be doing white ranch or chimney gulch tomorrow around 5/530 with some friends, i'll keep ya posted

**Art Vandelay** · 06-14-2005, 02:49 PM

I live right on 19th near the first road crossing for chimney. I usually just go from my house up to the trail head and start there rather than from the bottom off 6th. I might be able to make 5ish, but I'm not sure yet. Let me know you're plans and I might join in.

Z · 06-15-2005, 11:15 PM

tommorow(thursday) i think im gonna ride something up in Evergreen, Elk Meadow probably, unless something better comes up. Anyone riding?
