Missed the ride on Thursday due to a previous commitment. There was a huge turn out. Guess everyone was anxious to ride after all the rain we have been having. The weather was perfect for riding and of course I couldn't ride.
It was the first circle ride of the season. What's a circle ride? Well, sometimes the night's ride has not been determined, so whoever turns out, rides in a circle until a decision is made and a leader determined. Then off you go. They are fun.
Guess they ended up doing a classic Red Top using the Three Stooges Trails (Curly's, Mo's and Larry's). These are buffed single track and great for riding up or down. Access to the Stooges is on the Centennial Trail just as you emerge from the highway tunnel headed toward Red Mountain.
Red Top and Red Head Trails are a bit steeper than The Stooges but KCTS trail crew has done a superb job of providing a special route down Red Mt. I didn't get to take pictures, obviously because I was not on the ride but I tried to make the social afterwards.
When I arrived there were only three riders left, huddled around the fire on Rick Greene' deck. Soon two more headed for the showers and that left the last man standing Rick Greene. This was the first fire at Rick's for the season, but we are excited about The Double Downhill Summer Solstice Ride on Thursday June 16th, which involves a huge post ride party on Rick's deck.
Needless to say, Rick and I enjoyed a refreshment and debriefed about the ride. Got to remember to get that Seven Summits trail building video from .
