The weather forecast was suppose to be 65 with 30% chance of rain. Well, it might have been sunny in the Springs, however, it was anything BUT on Old Stage Road. About 10 miles in it started to snow on us. The area had just received a fresh blanket of snow from the night before. Not sure if all of this dropped Friday night, but there was about 10'' of fresh wet snow on the trails, and there were no tracks. The snow packed really well, so traction wasn't completely lost, but it was still slippery.
Ryan figured with the warm temps coming up, and the snow in Denver most likely done for the year, he would take the top off for the season... BIG MISTAKE huh? Luckily he brought a tarp and was able to rig up a "blue tarp bikini" that came in quite handy on this day.
As we reached the trail head of Eagle Rock, we met a couple young guys out on there own in this Red TJ. They asked if they could tag along as we headed over to Saran Wrap, and we were happy to invite them.
We broke all the way through Saran Wrap, and then met a few guys coming down Eagle Rock that had turned around after not making it that far. At this point we added another member to our group, as a gentlemen fresh out of the State of Georgia saw us and asked to tag along. Not sure how far we made it, but most of the group turned around about 3pm as we needed to make it back to Denver. Tyler and James continued on and apparently were able to break through the whole trail with a little winching.
It snowed pretty much all day with a few breaks of sunshine. But it was a still a very good day for wheeling, and making new friends along the way.
