Disclaimer: I'm still very new in town so every old ride is new/awesome.
So, I had plans to ride with some friends visiting from out of town. They predictably got their drunk on last night so I ended up heading out solo over to Chimney Gulch in Golden. The climb is steady but not awful, ascending about 1,400ish feet (according to the map) with the first 1/4 of the climb being the more difficult.
On the way up...
See the hang glider?
A brief, welcome stop to help a cute girl name Megan fix her broken chain and it was back to the climb.
Stopped here to eat my sandwich (turkey w/spicy mustard > clif bars)
Climb tops out at that tower.
More awful views ...
Chill for a few then head back down to the car. I thought about riding down Apex but didn't really know that way and didn't have extra energy to get lost or be left with a long road ride back to the car. The descent was ripping fast and all in all a great ride, followed by a big plate of stir fry shrimp, garlic and veggies at home ... .burp!
