Dennis & I rode the Shinglemill Trail, out of Buffalo Creek, CO. It was a beautiful day. Too hot to stay in Denver, so we headed for the foothills. Shinglemill Trail was listed as a good introduction to single track and by all accounts it seems to be a popular place to ride. At one point, I got going so fast that I couldn’t make a turn to stay on the trail. I missed about 3 switchbacks (doh!), but at least I didn’t wipe out.
We got to the trail head around 9am, and headed off for our ride. We rode for about 4 hours and then headed back to Denver.
I forgot the camera, so no pictures! I also forgot my water bladder, so I lugged the Nalgene. A bit uncomfortable, but at least I wasn’t dehydrated.
