I’m writing from a shaded spot under a large Ponderosa pine on the Grand Menard Discovery Trail, near the nine mile ranger station.
Today’s my chore day, but I had to take Marcy for a morning walk. It’s just too beautiful outside to stay in.
Yesterday, I had an amazing ride. I biked up Miller Peak, a climb that took an hour and a half. At over 7000 feet, it’s the highest I’ve ever gone on my mountain bike. The descent was even more thrilling. The climb was exposed and the trail, though a jeep trail, was in excellent condition.
Tomorrow, I’m thinking of tackling Dead Man’s Ridge off Blue Mountain. Or maybe I’ll save it for Wednesday and do Mount Sentinel instead. A friend challenged me, saying the top is nearly impossible. I’m eager to give it a try.
