Mountain Lion Alert: August 27, 2010

Please be aware that there have been numerous sightings of a mountain lion in the Galena Trails area.  It has been seen on the Bitter Brush Trail, on the top of Thomas Creek Trail, around Dry Pond, in the Brown's Creek area, and I saw it up near Relay Ridge on Mt. Rose.  I am assuming that it is the same cat as their range is about 100 sq miles.  This Mountain Lion has done nothing to encroach on trail users.  In every instance, the cat was just moving from one area to the next, and ignoring trail users.  The concern is that Mountain Lions tend to be solitary animals, and it becomes a concern when they hang out in the open.  So, be aware when riding in the area.  I will also give anyone that mentions this notice a free trail bell if you come into the shop and ask for it.  Not only is it a good idea for wild life, but a great idea to announce your location to other trail users.

Colorado Leadville Silver Rush 50

I raced the Leadville Silver Rush 50 Mountain bike race on July 17th.  If you want to read about the trail, see the pictures, or see the map, go to the "Trail Map" page, and check it out in the "Out of Area Rides"

Spin Scan

Remember, I am doing Spin Scan Bike Fits at the shop.  It analyzes your pedal stroke on your bike.  We do a fit based on a dynamic fit, and based on your wattage output, and efficiency.  The cost is $50.00 per fit.  Not only will you feel better on your bike, but you will also be able to see your pedal stroke, and be able to increase your efficiency.  Most people see somewhere around 15% increase in efficiency.  Some have seen a ton more.  Call the shop for details.
