Nice Pics Per and Penny
Spring arrived in Salida yesterday bringing about 6" snow (so far).
We'd had warm weather, but no Spring snow till now. 2/10" of precip.
for all of March. 2" (mostly rain) so far in April.
I think I'll dust off the spinner.

Cheers,
Shawn

This is part of the Beacon Bomber xc course. Riding through the colors is

That's a great pic. Looks like the freeriding feline, Tuffgrrl, is
digging her new sled.

Very nice. I was going to get some pics of a local trail which usually has
a few large fields of flowers, but I forgot the camera, couldn't talk my
riding bud into bringing his, and there weren't any flowers after all.
Still had a great ride, though.

Just the way you word that reminds me of a tequila ad.

Good stuff!

Did a similar thing here. I've had the last few days off with hopes of
riding for the duration. I got one decent ride in on Thursday. I was about
to go out on my road bike today but the temp dropped and wind picked up
enough I decided against it. I can't complain too much. It's usually too dry
here so I'm happy we got some moisture. Got some stuff done around the house
and some quality time in with the boy, so it was far from wasted. I have to
go to Taos week after next for the week so I'm trying to get as much quality
time in as I can. I'll get to ride in Taos too (and go to Albuquerque to do
a ropes course - should be fun). I just hope the motos haven't torn up
Hartman's too much while it was wet...

Frost-lifted trail at Hartman rocks:

Indoor riding (the boy already loves bikes!):

Some friends went up and hiked Monarch yesterday. They had about 2' fresh.
I'm done skiing, but big powder sure is fun (more so on skis than a bike).

Hopefully I'll get in some evening rides this week if the conditions
improve.

One more (scenic) Hartman's pic - top of Beck's which is a great DH:

Would love to ride there. Are thinking about bringing our FS to the US and
then rent a car and drive between the places with the best rides.

It's good riding for sure. Gunnison is very underrated IMO since it's so
close to Crested Butte. A lot of people skip over the rides here to get up
high in CB. CB is great, but so is Gunnison - especially Hartman's.
Drop me a line if you end up this way - I could show you a thing or two.

Thanks, splendid, at the moment we have really vague plans, thought first
that we would bike from place to place with BOBs like last year, though in
northern California, but after some rethinking it seems that we will drive
instead, would mean that we could cover a lot more ground, bike some in
California, Arizona, Utah and possibly Wyomig and Idaho too.

Yeah, driving would get you more time riding on dirt for sure. As I know you
have seen, there are some big wide open spaces around here that can take a
while to cycle. All depends on your objective, but mine would be to drive
the roads and ride the trails if it were my trip!

Yes, we liked cycling in Colorado, distances are not too long, but we don´t
want to do the same trip again. Even if we never had so much fun, it will
not be as fun doing it twice.

That is precisely the idea, we can bring our FS-bikes, fly to San Francisco,
then drive a day and ride a couple, Calistoga, Tahoe, Sedona, Durango,
Crested Butte, Sedona, Salida, Park City, etc., etc. We will make a list of
places with good trails, and then take the days as they come, no itinerary
fixed in advance. Just don´t want to spend too much time driving. Will get
seven, possibly eight, weeks.
