Before the giant rain storm this past weekend, Derek and I rode our bikes on a loop up out of Mancos that went by the Jersey Jim Lookout and around towards Dolores before dropping back down to Transfer Campground....
Burnt Hill Ride
When it heats up at lower levels, head up in elevation! This ride topped out at 10,500 and while it was a lot of climbing, the downhills were fast and deserved. The area around Southern Colorado has a lot...
Dolores Gravel Exploration
The tiny town of Dolores, Colorado is a gem. The Dolores River runs through town and out into McPhee Reservoir, there is a fantastic brewery with a nice outdoor beer garden, and Boggy Draw trail network offers great mountain...
