Phil's World

It's currently snowing. 

Sand Canyon

Report from Sand Canyon is that it's in "perfect riding condition" and will remain so as long as there's not a lot of moisture in the next couple of days.

2011!

Okay, we're all getting the mtb fever again. I know someone that's heading out to ride Sand Canyon today, I'll get a report on that trail. I'm doubting that Phil's is in good enough shape to ride and not damage the trail- but if you know differently, please post a comment.  Also, please note the new Ride-o-Meter on the Kokopelli Bike and Board website: http://www.kokopellibike.com/content/Where_to_Ride.html

High Country opening up!!!!

Rode Scotch Creek to the CT, across to Salt and down yesterday. Great shape, considering how early we are for any access. Definitely needs a lot more traffic to smooth out all the elk prints and winter ruts, but only 4 down trees between top of Scotch and Salt turn-off. Salt was actually in pretty good shape too, with a few down trees. The new re-route sucks though, as it was built by USFS and meant for hikers. Turns are ridiculously sharp and not laid out well at all. Lots of effort needed to make it a real MTB trail or just bypass on old route.
Can't wait to get up on Blackhawk!!!
Cheers all and see you in the high country this summer.
Keep smiling!!!

Boggy Draw and Stoner Mesa update - 6/15/10

Boggy Draw is in absolutely fantastic shape, especially Bean Canyon loop being in the best shape in years. Head to Dolores and take a lap, grab your snacks at the Grocery or stop by DRB for a post ride beverage!!
A bunch of us rode Stoner Mesa on Sunday, under threatening skies, but overall we had a great day. Still a ton of work to do on clearing downed trees (guesstimates of around 40 down), but the trail condition is great, with only a few wet spots about mid-ride. Once the trees get cleared out, Stoner will be in great shape.
The weekend rains have really helped Phil's World also, as it really set down the dust and firmed up the tread again. Lap last night was a blast!!!
Keep smiling all and see you on the trails.

Phil's, Boggy and Beyond!

Wow, summer has arrived with a vengeance! Daytime temps in the 90's have us all running for the hills. To that end, Boggy Draw area trails are in fantastic shape, especially Bean Canyon. The wildflowers on the mesa on Italian are spectacular.
Stoner Mesa is in great shape, although still bunches of trees down. We will try to get in there and assist the USFS with some cutting soon.
I have heard mixed reports on Colorado Trail riding, from clear and dry to still snowy and muddy in spots, but this weeks temps ought to help dry it all out quickly. Yeeeee - ha!! Almost high country season again.
Keep smiling and enjoy!!

Hot Weather!

Summer, suddenly, which means Girls' Rides will be at Boggy Draw. On Wednesday, June 9th at 530 we'll be riding Italian Canyon because we've heard the wildflowers are great right now.
Phil's World will be hot during the day but still good for morning and evening rides. Yes, we will be removing the race mileage signs.
