    I figured we have enough MTB folks on here to start something around that topic. If it already exists, my apologies. Couldn't find anything.

    This is meant for everything MTB and Colorado. Meet ups, trail information, gear, photos etc.

    I'll make a start. I've been hitting up Spruce Mt. Open Space in southern Douglas County in the past weeks. Beautiful scenery, awesome downhill portions. Not too crowded.

    Looks nice, how are the trails down there?

    I frequent most of the Jeffco and Denver Open Space park when weather allows. Last weekend I rode Golden Gate Canyon SP, and it was a great ride, would like to get out there again sometime. Hopefully the rain will go away tomorrow so I can get a ride or two in before a friend comes in from out of state, which means no riding for a week.

    Lots of trails, even in town. It's a great place to live for mountain biking. But then again, Colorado is a great place to live in.

    Should be a good thread! I frequent the Jeffco area at least a few times each week on my new Yeti I just picked up a couple months ago. Loving this bike!

    Just came back from Captain Jacks Trail in the Springs, got lost on the top of the hill. But otherwise a sweet trail. Definitely need to ride it out to the parking lot next time, awesome banks, drops and quite a bit of water.

    I've had the lamest season in my life thus far. Between the rain and being a new home owner I've only ridden 7 times this year. That's like a 6x decrease compared to normal. :(

    I've been busy preparing for my first big endurance race coming up this Saturday: Leadville Silver Rush 50!

    http://www.leadvilleraceseries.com/mtb/silverrush50mtb/

    Pretty stoked to see how it goes. My longest (MTB) race up to this point is like a 20 or 25 miler up at Winter Park. I'll report back after Saturday and let everyone know how it goes.
    Anybody else ever done Leadville?

    How are your trails being maintained elsewhere in the area? Denver Mountain Parks... while not surprising, are crazy overgrown and have been for weeks now. I did Zorro again (up Dino Ridge) and legs/arms are welted/scratched from the constant beating of overgrown thistles and other sharp crap all along the trail. A lot of green moutain single track is also getting way too overgrown.

    Buffalo Creek tomorrow! Hopefully that is maintained.

    Minus the blown shock..Winter Park was a blast today, it's nice to not have to pedal up the hill for once

    Here's a shot of my Pivot Mach 5.7 I picked up a couple months ago riding some trails around San Luis Obispo in California. The bike plain shreds and I can't wait to get back home to Colorado in a few weeks and hit up some trails. 20150702_120542_1_52dcfe3eed3dedc0921220efc54670d40c48d735.jpg

    Awesome man! I haven't had a chance to explore a whole lot of mountain bike trails around there yet so I look forward to it!
