Met up with TGR's Daywalker today to ride Devil's Backbone up in Loveland, probably one last time before its full-on skiing. The trail is so much fun, with a nice mix of tech and smoove flowy goodness... on to the pics:
Up first, a nice little staircase, made to look easy by Daywalker:
Climbing to the good stuff:
Hmmm... more tech on the way:
Up and over the ridge, it opens up to a sweet valley:
And we get to haul *** down for a while:
Me in red, riding the good stuff:
Daywalker, feeling the flow:
Yep, it was a fun little trail:
It keeps going down....
Up another climb, and down some more flow:
The trail is very well built and maintained:
Couple random cottonwoods in the middle of nowhere:
On the way back, more downhill fun. It was a little rocky:
Daywalker finishing up, with the Devil's Backbone in the background:

Baller. How much longer until most of the front range trails are unrideable?

Nice pics. Looks like you guys had a blast.
My slacking on buying a bike might have been a good thing. Now I can wait for all the Front Rangers to throw their bikes on CL and pick one up at a killer deal.
Some serious riding is in store for me next late Spring/Summer.
