Don't get duped into drinking their Titan IPA!
We'd be more likely to dupe him into drinking New Terrain, Cannonball Creek, or Mountain Toad methinks.

Pauly's Plunge, in Beaver Creek? That trail is super fun in the wet.
Yeah - I suspect the wet is currently frozen and drifted on that one... but who knows?
I'd recommend out-n-back on Green's Creek in Salida - I'd wager @HAB would get a pretty reasonable ride up Green's right now.
Hitting that in September while on our Crested Butte week.
And @Full Trucker and @6thElement dontcha know. I’ll ping y’all later today to see how riding turned out. Lotta traction out there today...
Raining here, at the non-secret trails.
Go for an Apex lap, they said. It'll be fun, they said.
*hailstorm ensures*
It was still fun though. Off to Salida now, thanks @Nick, @Full Trucker and @6thElement for a good time in Golden.

Sorry to have missed you, señor. Enjoy the rest of your road-trip.
Yeah, bummer that that didn't work out. I'll have to come back to ski or something.
Looks like high country in DGO is opening up. See my previous post (page 1?) for ride suggestions. Definitely go to Ska Brewing when you're there. I like 2nd Ave Sports and Pedal The Peaks for shops. Hermosa Tours does shuttles all around the area, they're also gonna be a good source for what's been open. If you go into 2nd Ave, look for a fvcking tall skinny kid, probably with a dark beard and a smile 4 years wide. That's Matt, he's squatchin' around Durango these days. Good dude to get beta from as well. Tell him @Nick and I said howdy if you see him.

Funemployment: still doesn't suck.
No, we pedaled. In between hiding under trees in a futile effort to avoid getting hailed on.
Meh.
New job not withstanding, I think he's got real dirty hippie potential.
He's from Ithaca, it's in his blood.
I ate at the Moosewood...once.
If he decides to live in his truck when he returns to Seattle he just be considered normal.
Salida rules. Super cool town and great riding. I did Uncle Nazty (is it just me or does that spelling look way too much like Uncle Nazi?) To... something, then back up and a full Cottonwood-Sweet Dreams-Chicken Dinner lap. MotherFUCK the first part of that climb. Steep fire road, with the entire surface just loose baseball sized rocks. Super fun descent back down though.
This morning I did some stuff that I don't know by name to Blood. Now hanging out drinking a beer and reading.

Also, did you climb 173 all the way to the top of Cottonwood past Uncle Nazty and Sand Dunes? Because yeah... FUCK that climb. We usually climb 175 up to Cottonwood, moar vehicle traffic but less steep, smoother, and better grade for climbing.
Oh... Yeah I did 173 twice. It gets better above Uncle Nazty, but the bottom part blows

Durango FTW. Banged out a bunch of laps on Log Chutes DH today. The upper trail (just listed as Downhill on Trail Forks) is only okay, but Log Chutes is a blast. It would be a super easy shuttle too, though I was pedalling. Pretty mellow fire road climb too.
Now, brewery time while it thunderstorms.

Did you go through/ride Taos?
Drove through and had some awesome tamales, but didn't ride there.
What else is on the list? How many days you gonna be in DGO? My gal and I are headed thattaway on Thursday, though I figure you're gonna be long gone by then.Durango FTW.

Well, a tamale does look a little like a fleshlight.Fuckin' tamales in Taos.
Trying to figure that out. Haven't managed do arrange a shuttle, and from what I can gather the coolest high country stuff isn't accessible yet. I'm open to ideas...
Schedule wise, I'm planning to ride here and Moab, then roll out. I need to be heading north by Sunday.
The singletrack in Cortez is awesome. Its definitely trail riding with lots of up and down. Not DH oriented but great trails. Its called Phil's World. Smack dab in the middle of Durango and Moab.
watch out for them cougars when you get to Seattle
