Itinerary: | |||||||
Need to get out of the city for a mountain bike ride! We will ride up the Little Elbow river trail and see how far we can get. I don't know how far up the trail we can go at this time. I would think, far enough to make it worthwhile. Even if it might be possible to get to the pass, we won't be attempting the loop. It may be dry at the beginning, but will be wet and probably into a bit of snow. We will decide around that point, when we want to turn around and zoom back down. For those who have not been on this trail before, it is an old exploration road, generally very well packed and reasonable even when wet. It is a climb almost all the way west, then downhill almost all the way back. The grade is fairly moderate with a few spots that are steeper and rockier. We are not going out for a race - if you want ride fast and want to come, you are welcome, BUT YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO LOOP BACK TO THE GROUP REGULARLY. We don't need to all stick together, but if you are coming out on a GROUP ride, then join the group. This is supposed to be fun for everyone! | |||||||
