Bowman's/Top of the World/Two Elk trail.
Last day of the holiday weekend. Up to the top of Vail Pass, then, after spinning out a shuttle, some more climbing.
Was it just yesterday the we did Lenawee?
Again, the effort was rewarded, amply.
Two Elk has a smorgasbord of descent types. From the steep, dark and rooty, to the wide open flowy, to rocky, follow-the-creekbed, goodness.
It was a joy just to be out there. Riding amazing trails with dear friends. Life on the road this summer was good, but it kept me away from my peeps. So as the trail wound down towards the shuttle vehicles, if found myself wanting to prolong the moment, to savor the experience, to stick my foot in the door and prevent it from shutting completely.
But all good things must end...or maybe they just devolve into Post-Ride, which is its own pleasant entity.
Collected Grendel from the condo, had a wonderful hot tub soak, and drove home over Loveland Pass.

Looks like the weather was cooperative for your holiday ramble. 
(And that last pic is gorgeous!)
Here's to holding still longer.

summer is close to an end - but autumn is THE season to ride. Cooler temps. Prettier colors. And MORE anthonys pictures.
Is riding over? NO, I say.

Awesome pixelations as usual Anthony. Must be hard coming home to that after being on the road all summer.

Nice pics. The last one is nice and moody. Ah, Colorado!
I think these pictures are worth at least a million words! Good job, I've got the last one for a desktop. Thanks!
Ground looks like it still has a bit of water, we're dry as a bone on the West Coast.

Here in america we don't choose where to ride, the ride chooses you. Much like Richard Dreyfuss' character in "Close encounters of the third kind".
