Switzerland

Great ride Tuesday night. We had a strong crew, too. We met up in Boulder, then caravanned up to Sunset where we did a fun little figure 8 loop using the Switzerland Trail and Todd Gulch. Thanks for driving the big rig, Chris!


After some climbing on the jeep road, we took a lapse into the unknown, something that would be appropriate for X Files. After that short stint on tv, we were back to our 2 track and heading back to make the figure 8.


Todd Gulch did not dissapoint. Well, not really. Some asshole, though, has gone in and felled a bunch of trees across the trail. We had to do a little walking in a couple of spots. It was worth it, though, to hit such a little gem. It starts off tame enough, but has some really fun, rough, rocky sections.

Once we ducked into the trees, the going got a little tougher. Here's a couple of angles on the same point:



Although the drive time was a bit longer than antcipated and the ride slightly shorter than anticipated, it was a good ride. I hadn't been in those neck of the woods in over 6 years. It felt good to play up there again.
