3-Day Breckenridge Ski Trip

-

The Showman's - Jodi, Bob, and Dakota (and Rider) - invited us up to their condo at the base of the Quicksilver Lift and Peak 10. Slope-side living is sweet! They have a nice spot tucked in the woods overlooking the river, on the south end of town. Just amazing.



Leah hitched a ride up Friday eve with Mary, Tim, and Maddie and we headed up early Sat AM. After a quick unloading of the car, I hit the slopes with the Kelly, Leah, Maddie and snowboarding Dakota. We mostly stayed over on Peak 10. Bob joined us after lunch and we did a quick take on Peak 9. Lots of hidden goodies if you know where to look. If you don't, you end up on those long greenie meenies that stretch way down towards town.



Rachel spent the day skate skiing at the slope-side xcountry track with Mary and Tim while Jodi spent the day wallowing in misery at home with a bad cold. A fondue dinner topped off the day.



Sunday it was just Kelly and I on the slopes with the Leah and Dakota hanging out till noon while Rachel xcountry skied on the trail to Francie's Hut. They ice skated in the PM. Kelly and I explored like crazy! We went up and up to Empirial Bowl and over to the Whales Tail for a long long ski down to the base of Peak 7. That area up there is just awesome. The PM broght us around to Peak 8 and 9 for more powder stashes and steeps. Kelly is now a very solid hip swinging skier, unafraid of blacks and willing to take on most double blacks. Leah is not too far behind!



The Showman P's headed home Sunday eve leaving us with Dakota for Monday ski at Copper. We woke up to light snow that built up to heavy white dumping throughout the day. By noon, even the groomers had 5 inches of fresh! A bit warm and wet but just a most excellent day on the slopes.

Great Divide Mountain Bike Route 2020 - Gear List

The summer of covid, the summer of people avoidance. Thus we spent July riding the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR) from Boulder to Helena, Montana. Here's the route we took: (view the route details on RideWithGPS) It was super fun to start from home and catch a bus up to Nederland to kick off the ride. From there, a big ride up Rollins Pass and a day of dirt roads heading west from Winter Park brought us to the GMBDR near Ute Pass. A mellow pace, 1,152 miles and 82,373ft of elevation gain got us to Helena over 28 days. We spotted bears, moose, golden and bald eagles, a couple of badgers and a couple dozen fellow GDMBR riders along the way (all heading the opposite direction, north to south). And loads of wildflowers everywhere! We're so very privileged to have so much open space and beautiful landscapes to explore - and the time and health to make it happen. Here's my gear list: Bike Salsa Fargo Apex 1, 2020 edition ( details ) 1x32 with 11-42 in rear for me and 1...

New bike: 2020 Salsa Fargo Apex 1

-

With the world closed off by corona, it's a good year to stick to the Rocky Mountains and ride the Divide. So we bought a pair of matching Salsa Fargo's to handle the dirt riding. Should be a good replacement for the old Vaya for future world travels. Wish I would have had it for Patagonia. More specs at  https://www.salsacycles.com/bikes/2020_fargo_apex_1

Bikepacking gravel roads around the Cloud Peak Wilderness in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming

-

Here's a 7-day gravel ride we rode in early August, 2021. Yet another fine escape from the crowds! Stout climbs, smooth gravel, diverse ecosystems, undeveloped camping for all but one night.  We started and ended in Shell, Wyoming, parking on a side street after getting the OK by the cook at the Trapper Creek Lodge to leave our van there. The route took us all the way around the Cloud Peak Wilderness in the Big Horn Mountains. This mountain range is surrounded by fairly dry, high desert sage country. We yo-yoed up and down, into and out of the dry sage to the piney alpine three times over the 250 odd miles. Big, stout climbs and long, steep descents!  75+% of the route is on hard-pack dirt and gravel. There's a short 6 miles or so of more rugged riding past Medicine Lodge Lake on Forest Service Road 344, which is more of a motorcycle/ATV trail. And a mile or so of sandy single track just before dropping into Medicine Lodge Archaeological State Park. Both of these stretches wer...
