Talking December in Colorado: Ride Report

This is about a month old, but there are some cool pictures here so I figured I'd share. I went to Rampart Range outside of Denver, and you can't get better conditions this time of year. Things are usually much more white! My bike was resprung, rejetted, and rerubbered, so I was excited to test it out. I got about 60 miles in total.

Thanks for the responses! I was entertaining myself with the shadow pictures, tried a few different poses haha

It is very cool to have such an excellent network of trails so close to the front range, I'm definitely glad to be in Colorado! Though I think the Rampart area is under some snow right now...
