Winter Park

By
Met up with Alan, a friend from Bozeman at Winter Park this weekend.  The weather was excellent, cold nights but no rain or anything during the day..  The leaves were turning too.  This ain't no New England, but pretty impressive anyways..  Two albums here and here .

Rode up to one of the summits of Winter Park Resort/Mary Jane mountain. May Jane is 
named after a "lady of the night" who was given the mountain in return for "services".  


There's a giant mountain biking competition with some serious jumps.. Like this thing, it 
was scary just standing at the top of it.



Some of the other things were a bit less scary and quite a bit of fun..
and there was a lot of nice trail in between.


Took a quick ride up an access road from Berthoud Pass this morning, nice views.. still a bit cold.

   Destination: Erica Bruennle for sleeping, Loffelstertz Lake for Eating 11km, 46 minutes. Fast roads Temperature: down to 0, a little frost in the morning but not much.  OR Intersteller Bivy, EE 20 deg quilt, Thermarest Xtherm, Rumpl, Rab Dagwalkinjacket Three scoops of Huel still wasn't enough, but the Cajun pasta was pretty good. Ate dinner by the lake, but it was too windy to be comfortable sleeping there.  Will likely try and stay at a trekking Erlebnis place next time with a proper campfire. We'll see.  Sleeping was cold, slept with the Rumpl on top of the quilt/bivy which probably compressed the down. Managed a reasonable night's sleep either way. Sleep system still needs work.. Blaek coffee is great, and two is more than enough.
