      Is it cool with you if I use that photo for a Photo of the Day?

      Looks awesome. Hot tubs and brew at the end.

      32 miles is a tad bit long for me, anyway to break it into smaller chunks? I usually keep my rides in the 15-25 mile range. Guessing with the elevation it would be even tougher on an old guy like me. 😆

      It’s easy to shorten the ride, there are a few other ways down on jeep roads shortening the ride but bypassing the beautiful Rainbow Trail. Views from the Crest are stellar.
