2021 Aspen change riding

The Aspens have been spectacularly bright this Autumn. I managed to get a couple of rides in. First one from Pierson park, through Homestead meadows.

and up onto Kenny Mountain. 


I turned around just below the top, on a rock outcropping in the middle of a beautiful aspen grove. 

A couple of days later, I took a day off and rode West Magnolia just about as the first significant weather rolled in that I assumed would likely knock the leaves down.

Granby Ranch in the summer

For Labor Day weekend, we headed off to Granby Ranch to see if Maddy would enjoy some downhill mountain biking. We found a hotel with a nice pool and off we went.

The biking was a sucess, I think Maddy managed 5 runs, 900feet vertical each run. I'm claiming success. We also did a nice hike around Monarch Lake.
