Golden Day (1/8/06)



Tim and I are new here (thanks Dave!!) and apologize for not posting our last minute epic but Sunday turned into quite the beatiful day aside from LOTS of wind. We started at the parking lot off Alameda making our assent on Green Mountain, from there we took the Zorro Trail up the back of Dakota Ridge, going right at the saddle (north) and dropping down to the Hwy. From there it was north to the foot of Chimney Gulch and then across the top of Lookout to Apex. We came down Apex but stayed clear of the trail up the middle as there was just too much ice to deal with. From there we came back up the Hwy to Dakota and back over to Green Mountain, and then an easy 3mi cool-down on the way back home (Tim had a little further to go). It was a great 35ish mile ride that we should not have been lucky enough to do this early in the year, next time we promise more of a head's up and look forward to meeting you all out on the trail!!
Cheers,
Cole

Nice! I did about half that ride the day before, it was stellar. Great weekend for riding.

Thanks Cole. Can't wait for some more riding! It's been quite a while since I've hit those trails. I need to make a trip.
