WY Singletrack - Nov 10, 2007

An unprecedented second weekend in a row of full clearance called for a quick trip to our neighbors to the north on Saturday. Dave, Tim, and I drove up to explore the new mountain bike trails WY. Even though we had heard good things about this new trail system, none of us were quite sure what to expect. Not even ten minutes into the ride, we were more than impressed. The singletrack, seventeen miles of it so far, is incredibly well planned, meandering around and over all sizes of granite rock formations and offering some of the most stunning scenery you could ever ask for. Into the singlespeeding, are you? You'll feel more than welcome on your one speed bike. Rigid? Bring it. There's not a "big" mountain in the entire park, but don't be fooled. The park is loaded with short, challenging climbs, so bring an easy gear if you plan to singlespeed this ride. As always, I was on the 34x20. We didn't get to ride everything in the park (approx. 17 miles), and the plan calls for a total of 32 miles. Get some soon because as word spreads, the masses from the front range will be invading in the near future. See a few photos here.
