July 26th - Winter Park trails

Amber and I headed up to Winter Park this weekend as I wanted to get some time on Sol Vista in preparation for the MSC race on the next weekend.

On Saturday we hooked up with Mike (a friend from work), he has a condo in Winter Park and also rides an Ibis Mojo after picking one up earlier in the year. He has the luxury of being able to ride out of his Condo into an awesome trail system on the hills above the town. He can also take trails across to the ski mountain and drop down those if he wants.

Mike took us on a great little connection of trails. D2 -> WTB -> Elk Meadows -> Sunken Bridges -> Zoom, back up Zoom -> FR159 -> Leapfrog.

The riding was an excellent variety with sections of forest road occasionally to connect sweet single track sections. The single track varied from buff, fast flowing sections to steeper rooty sections and the last section Leapfrog was just great technical riding with rocks and the occasional wooden structures. We ended up doing about 20miles of riding and I am looking forward to getting back there after the Race season finishes.
