04_09_2011 Colorado 1st Ride In Mountains

[coopernicus]

Well, the real riding season has started here in Colorado for us older folks! I had the chance to take out my 2000 EC300 after finally sorting my RB Designs head mod and carb mods...Once I finally found the problem I was able to actually start noticing some differences with the mods email me if you want some more info but now to the ride: After fixing bikes in the morning two of decided to go to Lefthand Canyon just outside of Boulder, Co. If you never have ridden there four words describe it: Steep, rocky, steeper, and rockier! I've been told a world trials round was held there 30 or more years ago and I believe it! It was a difficult first ride but we had fun once we decided to stick to the narrow 4wd roads and quit picking our bikes up on the singletrack! Overall, a good time on a bike that finally works right! Take a look at the pics and you will see the closest real trail to where I live (about 30 minutes). Notice in the last picture the burns from the fire earlier this year...Because of the fire they have closed a lot of the single track...Especially "carnage canyon" trail where I got stuck last year and almost needed search and rescue!
