    Default Ironclads Sun Feb 4th



    Miller Rock fell thru when the other rig bailed on me ;-(

    I ended up running Dry St Vrain (easy with very little snow). Then I went and did Ironclads. I climbed the first big rock - it's easy with all the snow packed in to make it less of a step. Then I did the route counter clockwise until an icy stretch stopped me and sent me flying backwards.... good thing no one was behind me.
    I tried and tried, then aired down even more (12psi) and still couldn't make it above this steep icy, rutted and icy section.
    I turned around and went up the second big step easily and did the route clockwise instead. Coming down that icy section I ended up sliding down but was able to steer and not crash. It was fun and I didn't see anyone else.

    Then I went to Parachute Hill and wasn't much snow there either. Kind of fun but kinda boring too

    But that's ok since it's, for you, "kinda / really close to home!"

    Exactly.... I made it a fun day with Ironclads but mostly non-challenging. I am lucky I can wheel all of these trails 10-15 minutes from my house
