Christmas in July
July 5th, 2010I woke this morning only slightly hungover and to cool, 60 deg temps. I wasn’t too sore from yesterdays road ride sufferfest, either. I decided to go check out yet another new trail near Grand Junction’s Lunch Loop trail system with Colleen & Bad Boy Will. This one, called Butterknife, was a real gift and offered miles of moderately technical, fun single track overlooking the Gunnison River. Just doing the simplest loop possible gave us over 4 hours of riding and it’d be real easy to double that by adding on a few of the Lunch Loop’s other trails (ie the Ribbon, Holy Cross & Gunny Loop). This gave Colleen & I back to back 4 hour days on our bikes and 11 for the weekend total. We’re going to great lengths to expand our threshold for pain! Hopefully we’ll be ready for the Breck 100 in a few weeks.
