Uncompahgre





I've been falling behind on the posts. This is from a rainy day on the Uncompahgre Pateau. The UP is a high plateau that stretches from Grand Junction to Telluride and is bisected by trails, dotted with aspen groves, and is another world. You can ride single and double track from the Geej to Montrose. I was fortunate enough to go on a market research trip to Telluride to talk with a focus group about some new winter boots (some days I write spec sheets and slave away at calendars, some days I talk to hot women in Telluride). On the way back we detoured up to the Plateau to rip the Aspen trail and what Brian calls one of the best downhill sections in CO. We set out under cracking thunder to squeeze in a hot lap before the boys had to be home to wives and babies. Got muddy and left smiling.
