Since the weather in Ouray continues to be grey and rainy, I decided to stay in Salida. I think it was a good choice.
Salida is quirky, little town in the middle of the state of Colorado. It’s such an amazing place. It’s the rafting and mt biking capital of the state…!!!
There is a system of bike trails ride out of town called The Arkansas Trials. You can bike to these incredible trails right out of the door from your hotel.
On the way down to Denver, I decided to stop by Three Sisters Park. It was one of my favorite mountain biking parks when I lived in Denver. It’s located about an hour up the interstate from downtown. It has some of the best and most fun trails near Denver.
Another douche bag selfie at the trail head…!!!
The sun is finally shining, but unfortunately, no Yeti sightings….!!!
Typical…. I haven’t ridden single track in years. So… what is the dumbest decision I can make.. head out on one of the more difficult trails in Winter Park. Seemed like a great idea until I got to the first couple switchbacks. You can tell on my face how difficult it was….
Way out of shape.
Right after that pic, it happened…….. After walking my bike though most of the most difficult sections of the trail, I hopped back on the bike ready to ride an easy section and BOOM — Down I go… On one of the easiest sections…. I need to spend more time on the bike…!!!
Looks worse than it was.
Besides the blood, and having a ton of fun on the ride…. At least, I found evidence of the Yeti’s existence…!!! Well worth the scars.
