Deer Creek Trail

Tuesday I took advantage of my day off and headed down to Crested Butte to ride the Deer Creek Trail and play with some new GoPro goodies.

Blue Mesa Reservoir on the way to CB

Using some REI gift cards I bought the WiFi remote and chest strap for the GoPro. Unfortunately, the camera was adjusted so that all you see is the top tube of my Superfly rollin' through some buff alpine singletrack. Oh well..

I rolled out of CB and climbed and climbed and climbed a dirt road. Altitude? Who notices that stuff? Im rolling along and... holy crap Im gassed. Gotta love that.

Looking down on the valley from whence I came.

Eventually after a couple thousand feet of climbing I made it to the beautiful alpine singletrack that the ride is famous for.

The singletrack flows through Aspen and Fir forests and just goes and goes and goes. And, I was only mildly concerned about being eaten by a bear. After having my fill I headed back down and home. 23 miles and alot of climbing, not too bad.
