HAYMEADOW TRAIL BY THE NUMBERS....

Here are some rough numbers for the Haymeadow Trail in Eagle which was just recently completed by the Hardscrabble Trails Coalition and the Town of Eagle. The course is faster than this for most of you as the ride turned into a bit of a social outing today with many locals and their kids checking out the scene. This will be the course which hosts the 2013 Colorado High School Cycling League State Championship races in October.

FRONT RANGE SUFFERING AND FUN...

 There is a lot of riding on the front range of Colorado that people who live in the mountains know nothing about. Once you get the local mojo knowledge you'll find that the is a reason why so many strong riders with really good bike handling skills are around. The shit is steep, rocky and fun to ride. The descending requires "A" game concentration many times or you will get fucked up badly. Many of the trails are hiking trails turned mountain biking trails, and all though the loops are sometimes short, they are also demanding. White Ranch and Deer Creek Canyon are two such spots, and all though they would never end up in anyone's top ten places to ride all time, they are great options for front rangers and require some skill sets to ride, bring three lungs along as well for some of the climbing....
