Long in the Horsetooth

Headed up to Ft. Collins today to ride with Kerkove, Carney, Joe Saperstein, and Aaron Potts. We hit up Horsetooth Mt Park and Lory Park for the day. Some sick singletrack in there for sure and had a blast ripping it up all day.

The name of the game today was climbing, lots of climbing. The descents and the singletrack were jaw-dropping.

The heat was also on the rise today, 75+ and full on sunshine, def could feel the ‘burn’ on the climbs for sure

Trails were bone dry and dusty. Lots of drifting and sliding out through the corners.

Views were outstanding, and there were loads of riders, hikers, horseback riders and even a few llamas on the trails.

More climbing, Carnizzle has a nice little picture of the area captured from his GPS, pretty sweet.

Huge week of training is now over, 1050 TSS for the week, and the CTL popped up over 100! Time to lay low for Moab next weekend and keep the legs super ready for Ouachita Challenge in a few weeks.

    Yah not sure which ones they were, but they were furry and had long necks. Suprised we didn’t see any camels out there!
