It’s been snowing non-stop up here after my first AM ride around the Mineral Belt Trail. When I left for home it had snowed nearly two feet. The ride home was slow but safe. Newscasts had video from drivers along I-70 when an avalanche swept the highway. That was the day after I drove the same stretch.
Otherwise the events of the Crystal Festival weekend at Leadville well attended with people happy to stand out in the cold. I’m one of them.
I rode the Mineral Belt Trail soon after I arrived. Stopped only twice to wipe clear my sunglasses otherwise I was non-stop and did the full trail in less than 2 hours.
