Walker Ranch and Choppin Brocoli

"Whoo, I'm throwing rocks tonight!
-Donny, The Big Lebowski

Walker Ranch is an 8-mile loop at the top of Flagstaff mountain in Boulder. The loop begins with a long technical downhill to the valley floor. From there you hike up a large set of steep stairs leading to some more downhill before beginning the first of 2 large ascents. The decent between the two climbs is very technical and I was blasting through it, so much so that my thumb trigger for the rear de-raileur came loose and fell off, now my bike is basically a 3 speed, that made the last climb out brutal, legs are still sore from that one.

Thursday is normally a yoga day but instead last night it was a log day, Burns and I hauled two loads of wood outta the forest and into his truck, we finish choppin and then sell on saturday morning.

There are few things more satisfying than the sound and feeling of a good clean CHOP through a large round where the split pices go flying in opposite directions, SNAP!
