Friday MTB Ride

Took the day off work yesterday and squeezed in a ride.

Heading up Sullivan Canyon, ran into two Gas Company workers. The latest is that they'll be making minor repairs to the exposed gas line through the spring. The big plow job to create truck access to the pipe up the canyon is scheduled for summer. That should be the end of what's been a fun local trail.



Here are some pics from the ride. The trails are in great shape and everything is quite green. Rusty Car single-track:
