I might be up for a run next week or next weekend. I won't be able to do anything this weekend, I'll be out of town.

Anyone else interested?

Hope so, I'm running a stock runner. Any trail ideas? Might have to watch out for weather as we're getting into winter conditions in the mountains.

Slaughterhouse is close and novice/intermediate. Argentine Pass is also close and easy but may be covered in snow now.

I'd be interested in Slaughterhouse since that's up where I went to high school at and maybe drag out some of my friends that still live up near Bailey.

well im down for next weekend.
today everyone i know couldn't go for one reason or another so i just took a girl instead
we went to spring creek, it's a little past idaho springs. it's rated a 7 but there's a few roads around there that are probably about a 4 so we stuck to those.

here's a few pics


flexing through some holes


other side - flexing through some holes


here's another road we went on. it was pretty much like driving through a dry river bed. nothing but small boulders about 5-12"

I thought we were going on Saturday morning. If it's Sunday I'll have to get a hall pass from the wife. Wife works Saturday morning so that would work for me.
