    Thursday D/S ride (9/1/11)

    D/S & Sumo friendly.

    50sGrl and I are going back up behind Central City this Thursday. Possibly heading up to the James Peak overlook & down towards Rollinsville.

    Expect about half on county dirt road and half jeep trails, plated bikes a must. (No rocks, boulders, and singletrack unless we get lost)

    We're both dirt noobs and will stop to explore and take pictures, if you just wanna ride we will set up meet points. I'm thinking lunch at the Stage Stop in Rollinsville.

    Meeting up near the cemeteries above CC. Meet at 9am, KSU ~9:30

    Yes, the little XT250 is a bit slow on the slab, unlike the KLX and the WR

    Not sure yet, I forget how difficult that last leg up to the rock house is. 50sGrl and I aren't really up to boulder fields. We'll see.

    Re: Thursday D/S ride (9/1/11)

    Awesome day of fun in the back country!
    OK, so Matty, me and 50sGrl got up to a high point and could see trails going up further.


    Off one side was an obvious foot path


    To the right of it, a rocky section that IIRC years ago, leads to a shelf road and the James Peak overlook. But there was a "no motor vehicles" sign posted by the USFS.


    We didn't get much further, deciding to head back since we passed some "ranger-ish" looking dudes on the way up. So am I right, was this the trail to James Peak and Loch Lomond eventually?

    This looks like SO much fun! Maybe my next bike needs to have "plate" possibilities...
    First, the only person you have anything to prove to is yourself. Second, you can watch life with your nose pressed up against the glass. Or you can swing the doors open and step inside.

    That's looks like some good, clean, family fun!

    Hey Jeff, could post up a link for a map, where the trail starts? I wouldn't mind heading up there but don't know where it is.

    I'll go ride that area w/ you sean...i've been on those trails for the last 15 years.

    Jeff the trail in the background is okay to travel...if you'd have gone another 500 yards you would have been to the parkinglot/overlook. then farther up would be the rock house/lochlomond overlook.

    the sign you pictured is actually an old trail that used to go straight up to the top.
