Shots from the Trail: Picture Rock

Mountain biked Picture Rock Trail this weekend near Lyons, Colorado. I love fall riding!

It was a solo ride, which I needed. It was nice to get out of the house. And one of things I like best about mountain biking is that I have to focus on the biking, and therefore can't focus on anything else. It's a great stress reliever.

Here are a few shots I took with my cell phone during my ride.

Beautiful views!


The trail goes in and out of trees ... loved the smell of pine!
A few spots of rockiness, but I feel like it used to be much worse.
OK, while this spot doesn't look horrible, I could not do it. It was one of the
few spots I walked my bike over on this ride.

A good number of switchbacks. This isn't a great pic - blame the cell phone.

This was as far as I went. 5.5 miles to this point from the Picture Rock Trailhead, 11 miles roundtrip.
My bike. I love it.

Hoping to get many more rides in by the end of the year, though unfortunately they have been few and far between so far this fall..
