Today we rode an amazing stretch of singletrack! Flowing and effortless, techy and sweeping. All of this and in Boulder county no less. I wont give up it's location, for the lack of people was one of it's many virtues.
Excellent ride starting from the Boulder bus depot. Taking that to Nederland. Fueling up and riding out to West Magnolia trails and onward to the town of Eldora. Good to go. Past the 505 FR and rode to the 4th of July TH junction. Got our bearings back and rode back and started the climb up 505. Tough to say the least on a sspd. Sand and loose rocks, My arch enemies! Eventually made it to the top and Armin and I enjoyed the view, hoping it would not rain. Rode over and down to Rainbow Lakes rd and the southern terminus of the Sourdough trail. Decided against going up Sourdough based on the time, ~ 6pm and we were going to meet Sarah in Boulder for dinner and beers @ 8p. And also we were starting to get a little toasted.
We jumped on to peak to peak and rode out to Pennsylvannia Gulch road and then awhile on that rd and drop in to the campground area and the multitude of short fire rds and trails. Hit one of the best little sections of trail in Boulder county that I have ridden( does'nt mean much). Popping out on Sugarloaf road we road that and dropped into Boulder. According to my speedo I hit 50.2 MPH going down Sugarloaf, coasting. Keeping those wheel bearings loose really increases your speed ability. Eventually, Armin caught up with me and than we drank beers and ate great burgers.

That photo is of a stretch of trail west of the town of Como. It is on the south eastern side of Boreas pass. I am not sure of the type of flowers.
