Got out on a couple SWEET rides with the Chut a while ago. One was a ride where we met at el Gancho and left a car there and drove another car to Glorieta Baptist center and pedalled up to the tower via ghost town and then descended Apache Canyon and then took a killer single track out to la Barbaria and then back to Marks awaiting truck. That last singletrack out was new for us and I thought it was fantastic. Can't wait to hit that one again.

waiting for their friends
Finding our way
Brought along some whoppers to munch on
The trail and the views are top notch up here
Down at the apache trailhead.
It started getting hot out and I remembered a method Jay uses to cool off and I decided to give it a try. It worked
I love the roads above Canada de los Alamos
Then it was onto that killer last section of trail that I can't wait to get back to
Then Maka and I met up at the bottom of Pacheco Canyon rd and rode from there and went up to Aspen Ranch and then proceeded to ride the Rio en Medio and it was a KILLER ride. We got some showers at the tail end of the ride. Anyone who has spent some time in the high desert will tell you that the smells when it rains are phenominal.
Just above where pacheco canyon rd turns up towards Hyde Park rd.
We stopped for a snack
Sometimes I wish for signs to point the way. This is just too much though
I believe this to be a lovely ???
crossin' over
Then the lovely shower came and brought the smells out in full force

Hell yeaa Dom.email me your itinerary when ya get a chance.timandautumn@msn.com
The best trails in the area in that post. Apache has to be one of the most wicked descents in the entire state and it's funny how many people do not ride it - but then again, when your finish the descent it means you have to get yourself out of that valley somehow. :-)
