Hey all,
No April fools joke here. Scoutman and I are going to head up to try the Middle Saint Vrain trail tomorrow. Its a middle/lower level trail, but could be a bit harder because of snow. Here is a link with a description:

Its kind of near Ward, CO and is a bit higher in elevation then is ideal this time of year, but I think we should manage fine. Our plan is to give it a try, and if its snowed in, then to go try Castle Gulch or Left Hand instead. Anyone is welcome, especially if you have a winch to pull Steve and I out of the snow if we get stuck. This will be Steve's last trip out before he does his Spring over conversion and bigger tires, so lets hope its good.
I'm thinking that meeting at 10am in Boulder is a good way to go. The BusStop strip club parking lot is pretty empty at that time of the day and is a good meeting place. Its at the Junction of 28th and Broadway. We could meet anyone coming from the North in Lyons, across from the Black Bear in. There is a dirt parking lot right off the road that has a Pedestrian bridge nearby for the bike trail (its where the Lyons whitewater park ends).
From Boulder its about a 45 minute drive to the trailhead. It would be great to have company on this trip, but I understand if its a bit late notice.
