Crested Butte Mt. Bike, Alone in the WOODS!!


Doest a tree make a sound when it falls in the woods, does a blog get read when in cyberspace? The only way to really understand the smell. the color, the texture and the feel of flying through peaking aspens in the high alpine of Colorado is to be there. Chris Rust and Bill Ellard hosted me for 4 days of primo mtbing last week. Nick Herrin joined in for a few rides and gave us a locals only visit to his favorite haunts. Dyke, Deer trail, 401, Strand and Hartland were a sampling how awesome this place is. An exciting and adventuresome trip that included confrontations with a fox, bull, herd of cows, hawks, ranchers, steep decents, knarly climbs tight switchbacks, slick rock like technicals, bow hunters, ATV's, sweeping single track through a sea of sage and cow patties. At the end we promised to return.
