COUGAR HUNT ON COUGAR RIDGE...

With the mid summer heat and dust jackin up the riding down in my neck of the woods, I had the chance to go hit the single track world with the Herminator on Vail Mountain and head up to Cougar Ridge. Amy Hermes is currently workin it towards the SS Worlds in Napa Valley next month and if the way she climbed on this ride is an indicator...she should be right on mark in a month. As usual, I got crushed by her on the climb to Eagle's Nest, crushed particularly hard on this day and then had my hands full staying on her tail heading back down to Minturn. The ride was awesome and Vail Mountain is in all it's glory right now.....go check it out, just watch out for the Cougar Kittens passin on the way up and down.
