    Apex is fun, very busy on the weekends. Welcome aboard!

    It's a shame you'll have to put up with such drab surroundings.

    Nice pics...I s'pose you're riding options have changed substantially huh?

  6. I lived in CO for 15 years (moved to Oregon a few years ago). Those photos made me a bit homesick. There is great riding out there. If you get a chance do some riding around Estes Park and check out the herds of elk up there, simply awesome. You should definately get to the west slope as well (Loma-Mary's loop/Lion's loop, Fruita/Grand Junction-Lunch loop or Pollack canyon). Pollack and Mary's/Lions are my faves! I heard they are going to (or have) close Polack canyon to everyone but horses and hikers. Have fun up there.

    I can see my house in your first link, second photo... Since you are new to the area... Try riding
    up Chimney Gulch (start near the Mines practice fields go under Hwy 6) down Apex (Take Enchanted
    Forrest). Take you first left to the top and back down and when you hit the main trail take a left
    back out to the parking lot. Due to proximity one of my favorite after work rides...

    mountain bikes hadn't been invented when I lived in Colorado.

    Hmm, been to Estes Park, didn't see any elk; must've been all those drunk teenagers I was with
    (surely it wasn't ME!).

    There's a big herd of elk west of Portland in Gale's Creek; we come across them from time to time on
    rides. Those suckers can really climb hills - makes me jealous!

    Welcome to our fair state. Maybe we'll get out for a ride sometime.

    I was in Estes on Sunday, no riding, but I did see a goodly number of Elk milling about on the golf
    course. With an apprehensive cluster of golfers looking on from a respectful remove. I hope those
    elk did some jumping jacks on the greens... ;*)

    - hmm, my bike does not eat protected flower, nor does it [censored] on or leave holes in the trails, as a
    Swede I am amazed. We ban horses much sooner than bikes. In any case we rode the Apex trail,
    w1.185.telia.comApex1.jpg and it was great fun.

  13. I hear you Per, but there is (at times) no making sense with the BLM. It sounds like several locals are working now to reverse any closures or possibilities of closures on that trail. Ride well.

    Thanks for proving that you don't know diddly squat about the Western Slope, especially the
    Fruita/GJ area. When are you going to start dropping names?

  16. jd:
    you don't get out much do you? I've noticed pretty much all of your posts are critical of everything and you have nothing positive to offer anyone. That's a hell of a legacy you have going. So what if you don't like the trails I like in CO? Watch the "information super-highway rage" there tough guy and get a hobby, or dog. Wait, don't get a dog. You'll complete that violence cycle your folks started sooo long ago.

    I bet you tell everyone you ride down the face of Mt Garfield all the time, huh? Tell everyone how you ride 1K miles a week and clear 40' drops on your cyclocross rig. I don't remember anyone named jd EVER out on a trail maintenance day. Yep, you have tons of cred with me, tons. That was sarcasm big daddy. Go ahead and play the retro grouch, cool guy. I'll give you the some help with your undoubtedly "witty" reply:
    You looser! You suck cuz you don't fear me! If you were here, I'd blah, blah, blah...

    You can use that, it's free. Get a clue, you are a dinosaur. You are unimportant and not needed, some may say: unnecessary and tired.

    Forgive the previous rant, bad day and work and I had little tolerence left. I should not have gotten personal, but I can not take it back and I don't think you'd let me (based on the voracity of your hatred and disrespect you display for those you disagree with). I forgot to ask (if you are capable of giving a straight answer to ME), having not been in GJ for a couple of years (except for a quick drive through) I am certainly not on top of the day to day info. Are they NOT closing Pollack canyon? I really hope not. We are coming back in the spring for a visit (don't freak). It was just a rumor I heard and don't know the facts on that. I also take it you don't like the Mary's/Lion's area? "Your" shop has done some work in that area since I left or so I hear you have to like some of it, maybe. Anyway, information?

    You "goated" me into name dropping just one single name: How the hell is "Speedo Man"? My wife and I were talking about him the other day. What a crazy [censored].

    Anyway, if next spring you see a big inked up [censored], with the dreaded Heckler, puking on the side of some local spot suffering from that altitude, (it's only 440' here) and poor fitness it's probably me. Be safe jd and please remember not everyone that doesn't agree with you is against you. Keep the rubber side down.
