I have long since figured out after (maybe even before) moving to Colorado from Michigan that the trails out here were going to seriously kick my ass.Being accustomed to great Midwest Trails like John Muir (outside of Milwaukee) and Novi Tree Farm (outside of Detroit) where you could literally roll through the woods averaging 16-17mph on a short travel 26 inch hard tail, coming to Colorado offered a new type of trail that 80mm of travel just doesn't soak up very well!
In the time I've been here, I've ridden a bit of the trails in Fort Collins and Denver only to be rattled to death all over the place.
So there was today, headed out to Apex (Golden, Co) for the first time that goes up Lookout Mtn to 7600 ft. After about 20 minutes of walking/ riding/crashing in the granny gear over sheets of ice I decided to turn around and actually get a ride in instead of a hike.Took the old mountain bike, which unfortunately hasn't been ridden in months over Lookout on the road to Morrison, Co and back great ride good times... peace out!
