    [Inline on my site]

    I was always in awe of reports that showed high altitude mountain biking
    on trails that most people didn't ride that often. Where did they find
    them? What was so special? When I got the message that FRMBP was going
    to have a ride on some seldom used trails, I was all over it. I have to
    keep the location to myself, but if you figure it out from the pictures,
    more power to you.

    So it's starts off somewhere in Colorado. You can almost tell you are
    going to be riding primitive trails when the drive involve many miles of
    dirt road with more miles on even rougher dirt road. We eventually come
    to a point where said road is too washed out to go any further, so it's
    climbing time.

    My exciting rises as we reach the singletrack. Singletrack? There's a
    trail here?

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4499.jpg

    The trail continues through Aspens and meadows on a mostly downhill
    direction. What can be better? Barely visible singletrack with amazing
    mountain views. You don't need the altitude to take your breath away.

    The gang stops to regroup and yes, we are on the trail as our guide Jeff
    assures us.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4503.jpg

    Snaking through the Aspens is always one of my favorite things to do.
    There was just enough moisture on the trail to keep things tacky, which
    made for some fast riding.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4506.jpg

    Reaching the bottom we head off on some primitive 4x4 road (as in grown
    over) and neander a few stream crossings.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4509.jpg

    Including a flooded crossing which required a fire brigade crossing.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4510.jpg

    Then it's back on some rather rocky overgrown two-track.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4513.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4514.jpg

    Dr. Andrea decided to check out the shrooms which were everywhere.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4517.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4518.jpg

    Blazing new trails? No, it's there.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4521.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4525.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4526.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4527.jpg

    More rocky road. Quick someone call Ben and Jerrys.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4528.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4529.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4531.jpg

    You gotta love Colorado. Snow in August!

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4530.jpg

    We eventually hit a forest road with views in every direction. It's
    just a short spur before the singletrack returns.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4533.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4534.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4535.jpg

    Now, this section is absolutely awesome!

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4536.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4538.jpg

    We stop to wait for the others and do a little trail maintenance two
    solve two problems. One is erosion around a fallen tree and the other
    is a way to get over the fallen tree.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4539.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4540.jpg

    Then it's back to the real deal for the climb out.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4542.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4543.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4545.jpg

    As usual, it's not mountain biking without blood. Andrea won the prize.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/082706/IMG_4547.jpg

    Sixteen spectacular primitive singletrack miles and 2500' of climbing
    with great people. I couldn't think of a better way to spend the day.
