    Hmm Doesnt matter, I know most of the trails in the Morison area (there close to my house). So I dont know about or been on to many other trails outside of that area.

    Hmm I thought you lived up north. I haven't ridden much around Morrison, I'm usually down at Deer Creek Canyon. Ridden that one four times in the last three weeks, so it might be time for a change. Mt. Falcon? Lair? Dakota Ridge? I haven't been to any of them, just heard about them.

    I am about 30 -40 minutes from Morrison.

    Mt Falcon is a pretty tough trail, hill Climb wise. It will give your lungs and legs a hell of a burn. If you make it all the way to the castle it is pretty cool (the castle isnt that far up there.) There is also a presidential castle that the guy was building up there for when the president came to town, but I have never been over there to see it. Always ran out of time.

    Lair is pretty cake..... you and I could probably whip it. (assuming your in pretty good shape) There are only a few technical spots.

    Dakota Ridge is pretty cool, alot more technical than Lair. Only done it once a few years ago and haven't been back so dont really remember it.

    Matthews Winter Park I know like the back of my hand, bunch of good switch backs at the beginning kinda technical but not to bad, Good climb good down hill at the end.

    White Ranch, Not too bad, Technical I would rate about the same as Matthews Winter. Good climb at the beginning. Down hill at the end is freakin awesome but you have to be up there really early so you can get down before everyone else starts coming up or else they F' up your down hill. Havent done this trail in a real long time either.

    So if the weather cooperates I dont really care. There are some more trails I can give you if you want. They are all not to far from Denver.

    I know last night according to some Troopers up there it was snowing pretty bad. But how far up that was on I70 I do not know.

    Up to you, you know all those better than I do. I had to do a mapping project at Matthews Winters last spring and it seemed really small, but we only went around the hill. There's gotta be more to it than that. I'd be down for anything as long as the weather is halfway decent.

    And yeah, I'm in decent shape at this point, so we should be okay.

    Nice ride!

    Here is what I have, only in candy apple red.



    If anyone has read Mt Bike mag for a while, this was reviewed in '97. Tinker was on the cover draped in a flag. This was the bike they reviewed. These bikes have the best balance of any bike I've been on. Too bad they are not made anymore.
