We Got More Springs

What can I say? The trails are awesome, the Springs crew is a hoot to hang with, and yeah, we just love riding the Springs. This time I took down the singlespeed...cause its fun to suffer like that

Winter Springs

Most of Denver and the Front Range is still covered in a melting coverage of snow and mud that keeps most trails in our area from being rid-able. That's ok though, because most of Colorado Springs is still ride-able and a few of us escaped from the Mile High City and went south seeking good riding and new found friends.

I didn't say Colorado Springs was completely snow free, but take mostly decomposed granite trails and cover them with 2 inches or so of the white stuff and you've got some awesome riding.
