I had some business away from the shop today so Redstone was closed. Fortunately, things ended a bit earlier than expected so I was able to sneak out with Chris and Chad for a ride. It's funny. By 3pm, you couldn't even tell that it had snowed. Hall Ranch was in prime condition, too.
The bottom section was alarmingly good. The dirt was perfect, maybe even a little dry.
Further up and still perfect.
We turned around at the bench, but not until we rode a little further to get a check on the north side conditions. Granted, it was cold so there wasn't any mud, but it sure looked like conditions would be prime all the way to the loop. We were running out of daylight, though, so we opted to hit the dh with enough daylight to see and have fun.
That didn't stop us from taking the long way back thru the park, though. I had a couple of shots of Chad and Chris riding on the frozen St Vrain, but they didn't turn out. You'll have to trust me on that one. The cracking ice sound was a bit disconcerting. Here's a good parting shot.
Thanks for the good ride guys!

Dirt green with envy!
Thanks for letting me ride the Sultan, it was good to get on squish & have gears. I forgot how fun the home field descent is.
Me again. Sam's been riding Hall every day after school. Wenesday, it was snowing, and his buddies didn't show up but he went anyway. Found one of them on top. They came down the north side, cold but now ridable. When I picked him up he was covered in snow. Then he was sick yesterday, but it was already coming on the day before. Gettin' serious about race season, but he won't ride on the road (except at 7am to school). Thanks for all the good vibes you give him.
