I headed down with Ryan, Vince, Rachael, Clint and Dave on Satrurday afternoon when they rolled through Grand Junction on their way to the San Juans. On Sunday we headed off and did the Black Bear Pass and Imogene Pass loop before heading back to Silverton for some tri-tip cooked by Dan.

Here's some pictures from the trails.

After making it down into Telluride, we had a quick lunchbreak and then started up Imogene Pass

Last time I was on Imogene the CJ behind me rolled...on the trail....the hardest part was the wife who was understandably upset.

Tight is right.....I recall making 2 point turns on some of the switchbacks. Missing a corner is the end of your day, the run and likely your life. Can't wait to run it again!
