at least 36 miles worth of Clear Creek County is, including Waldorf Mine: Elevation 11,250

Finally got my boys, PBR and Little E out for a ride. We decided to hit the same route I hit last weekend with the addition of Waldorf Mine. I was hoping Argentine Pass might be open but alas it was still buried under snow. Still Hitting Waldorf Mine which sits at 11,250 ft was a good feeling.

Only 20 miles into the ride and I snap my left peddle...
oh well...nothing to do but peddle (photo by Little E)

Little E riding the cliff trail
me on the cliff trail
Hard to tell but the trail is maybe 18 inches wide at this point and there is a huge penalty for stepping to the left

Did I mention Little E was riding a Fixie

Great job, guys! Jeremy, when I get a few good rides under my belt, I hope we can ride again.

Great looking ride! It makes me long for July when the backside of Argentine pass is usually open.
I'd love to make a big loop out of Argentine Pass, Lenawee, Loveland Pass, Bard Creek, and Empire Pass...maybe this year.
drop me an email (jpjonas2-at-comcast.net) if you want some beta on some of the trails I've explored up there (and those I've seen but haven't had time to check out yet).
Jim
