Today's Rides
Today, I started out by riding up to Echo Lake. The road is cleared from my ride up here yesterday in the BMW X3. So, I was able to make it all the way to Echo Lake. However, the gates are closed and locked at Echo Lake, and it is not possible to ride up to Summit Lake at this point.
I saw a couple of guys on Suzuki's. Talked to them for a little bit at Echo Lake Lodge over coffee.
Then, I rode down towards Idaho Springs. I went up Cascade Creek just a short distance, to the shooting range. Then, I went up Ute Creek to the turn off for Lamartine Road. Then, down into Idaho Springs for lunch at Carl's Jr.
After lunch, I tried to ride up to Chinn's Reservoir, but it's still snowed in, of course. Then, I went to Alice and tried to ride up to Loch Lomond, but it's still snowed in also. There are 2 gates to get to Loch Lomond, and they're reportedly opening the first gate on Saturday June 1st.
It snowed on my (very lightly) several times today, first up near Echo Lake, then several times near Alice and St Mary's Glacier. It seems like, once I get about 10,000 feet above MSL, it snows pretty much every day.
