    Overall, probably close to 20K feet of vertical off road, and another 10K on road for the weekend, not too shabby.

    As per usual, I don't have too much to add, but here's a few:

    IMAG0672_zpsnu0fxokj_fe16f752fc7f96c79bfa82a42e16bc084cba0806.jpg

    James was having entierly too much fun shoveling at that elevation:

    That jog was killer though!



    Indeed! The story that goes along with those scratches was well worth it. Excellent adventure bud!

    next day took us through St Elmo as we tried our luck at Tincup Pass
    [​IMG]

    but we were stopped by snow
    [​IMG]

    so we tried our luck at Grizzly Lake
    [​IMG]

    i kept sliding off on a line that wasn't thought out too much...and later punctured my passenger front tire :(
    [​IMG]

    with some help from James, Brett was able to get up the dreaded obstacle
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    James gave it a good attempt
    [​IMG]

    but kept sliding as well and was getting too tipsy to continue
    [​IMG]

    so we called that run and went down to Mt Antero...one of the biggest climbs you'll see in Colorado
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    after getting over 13,000ft, we decided to head down to Billy Baldwin's Lake and got distracted by a narrow shelf road climb to a mine
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    and went back to camp after for more campfire and drinking

    To bad you didn't make it up to grizzly lake, pretty sweet up there! Next time you guys plan a trail run in this neck of the woods, let me know.
