I woke up in Denver at 2:45 am wed and was out the door. I had to be in Durango by 11 to pick up Craig at the airport. Talk about slumming, I was totally not with it for the 6 hr drive. Made it to town about 8, hit up the dog park, ate a killer breakfast at Carver Brewing and then tracked down Marshall and Shanna. Hung out with them for about half an hour and to the airport I went. Picked up Craig, then to Durango Cyclery to grab his bike. Saw Eric, the most badass rider '09 from the enduro, and threw his bike in the car as well. Went to the trailhead for the last segment of the CT and built up Craig's bike in the parking lot. He was rocking a fixed gear Karate Monkey with a huge 32x17 gear.
Climbed for a bit on some nice switchbacks that made me want to vomit. Then here and there for a nice 18 mile shakedown ride.
Of course the great Miss Madolin was there and killed it, as usual!
Got back to town later in the day and found Shanna of endless bikes and our condo for the next several days. The party had already started and we were stoked to have a killer place to crash.
It was so nice to be able to park the car and not touch it for several days. 100 miles of trail less than ten minutes from the center of town via bike. Absolutely amazing!
