	An Inconvenient Fish posted May 23, 2013 by skibum While mountain bikers work hard to build new trails, we constantly face losing existing ones as a result of development, lobbying by hikers and equestrians, forest fires and natural disasters, Wilderness designations, and other rule changes. One area, almost literally in my backyard, seems destined for... read full article 2 comments
	Review: Feedback Sports Sprint Work Stand posted May 22, 2013 by syd Finding a bike work stand that can handle the larger weight and size of the gravity-oriented bikes I normally work on can be a challenge.

jhato160 reviewed Sope Creek

After riding Soap creek since the trail changes, I have a major concern that this trail will never be dry. On the Tuesday/Thursday/Sat route, on the first turn off of the newly opened portion of the trail, there is an area that almost becomes un-ridable because of how wet it gets and it hasn't been dry since it opened. There is desperate need of some bridges, rock gardens, burms, etc. If a group doesnt step up to maintain this trail, it's going to go to sh*t. It has so much potential to be one the best trails in the Atlanta area.

bravesdave reviewed Colorado Trail / Buffalo Creek To Lost Creek Wilderness Boundary

Rode almost the full 30 miles yesterday, starting near the junction of FR 550 & Hwy 126. This is beautiful country throughout and tops out just above 9000' at the wilderness boundary. Due to the distance and the moderately high elevation, plus the fact that the snow melts here relatively early for CO, this makes a great early season big ride as a precursor to hitting some of the higher elevation rides like Kenosa, Monarch, the 401 and others above 10,000'.

Reading the comments below, I have to agree with Greg. This is a classic Colorado ride and is a classic cross-country ride. It meanders through BEAUTIFUL mixed conifer forests. It is twisty and fast. It also has some long bomber down hills and some long demanding ascents. There is never a dull moment. It gets you away from the usual crowd of riders on the main BC trails and feels much more remote.

Depending on your level of conditioning, it has the very real potential to fatigue you, so I wouldn't try the whole thing without putting in some decent mileage beforehand. There are different options to shorten it up if you like, as the trail crosses a couple roads along the way. 5 stars as a xc ride. GREAT RIDE.

bravesdave reviewed Colorado Trail / Buffalo Creek To Lost Creek Wilderness Boundary

As noted/tagged by the posters, the upper ten photos in the photo gallery are from "BC to Keno". It appears that most of these photos are maybe on the other side of the Lost Creek WA nearer to Kenosha because the CT Trail from FR 550 in Buffalo Creek to the Lost WA is forested the entire way. There are some nice overlook views here and there and a couple of small meadows but no open grassy areas or open valleys.
