MTB Ride - Buffalo Creek

With the weather being perfect, Brad and I headed an hour and 20 southwest to Pine, CO to ride an IMBA Epic, Buffalo Creek. The ride was everything I hoped for. Some climbing with pure singletrack and scenery everywhere around you.

Back in 2000, a wildfire swept through the area and caused significant damage. Read more hereehttp://www.uppersouthplatte.net/resource/nrthfork/hmed2for.html

The ride was a total of 20 miles with an elevation gain of 1000 ft. The ride began, as does every ride here in Colorado with a climb. Tough at times, but always rewarded with an amazing descent. Fast, fast, fast. Although some parts of the trail were pretty washed out and sandy, there was plenty of hardpack and slickrock to play around on. Another great ride to check off the long list of rides I must do.

Entering the wildfire area. So surreal.

Some sections were sandy and a little tough to keep control
