Summer ...

is finally here. Long days of riding and exploring the woods, chilling with friends, not going to school, not unlike this afternoon. I took my last final today, Spanish, which sucked. Mostly because I finished early and had to sit looking out at the beautiful weather. windy, yes, but beautiful. Man was it ever windy last night. One of our neighbor's trees blew over at around 10oclock last night. Riding to school this morning was like riding in the path of an F5 tornado. Maybe not quite that bad, but there were still tons of branches and trees everywhere.

Just got back from a lovely ride with Ellen P. Rode up Lee Hill, met Ellen, chatted for a bit, then went down the backside with the intention of visiting Ward. Although we did not make it to ward, we did have a beautiful spin up just past Rowena, where we took a secret trail back up to the junction of CR83 and lee hill church. Hiked back up to deer trail and descended back into town.


This "secret" trail is probably one of the coolest trails I can think of reasonably close to Boulder. I imagine that at some point it was a mining road, but it has now deteriorated to a gorgeous little singletrack. Its nothing extreme, and it only lasts for about 30 minutes on the way up, but well worth the trek.



Anyways, here are some more pictures from the ride today. enjoy:
