Steep Trails!

A few weeks ago I was reading a daily update on the Breck Epic from Dirt Rag's web site. It was written by one of the riders who came in to town from the east coast. (Dirt Rag Magazine is out of Pittsburgh) The recurring theme each day was how steep and rocky the trails were. This guy talked about running up the hills just to keep ahead of the friendly competition. I actually forgot about these articles until I was on my second walk in the first 15 minutes of my ride. There were some steep, rocky, hard to breath trails! The town of Breckenridge is at 9,600'. I forgot to bring my ipod so all I had were my thoughts... yeah sounds dangerous!

Anyway, I combined a few trails from people I talked to around here... got lost... backtracked... then intentionally climbed a hill just to turn around and come down it. Then I stumbled on a terrain park, crazy! It was an awesome day that had surprises around every corner. The old mines were just amazing, check the pics. If the weather holds out I'm going to make an attempt to hike Mt Quandary in the morning, it'll be my first 14er (Over 14,000').
