Saturday, August 14 Long Run
Banditos and Banditas:
This Saturday August 14 I propose we run Niwot Ridge – something that has been missing from our runs this summer so far. Seems it will be a hot day on the plains (low 90′s) and probable thunderstorms later in the day – so probably better get an early start.
Niwot Ridge trail starts towards Long Lake from the Long Lake parking area at Brainard Lake rec area. It costs to get into the area ($9 last summer) unless you have one of several passes, so plan on dealing with that. The trail takes a southern turn at Long Lake and heads up the ridge – out of the timber and most of it above timberline. If you have not done this run before, it is a very rocky trail / road most of the way. You go past the CU research station on the side of the ridge. Coming down is equally challenging due to the large rocks, uneven terrain. A decent training for Imogene. Round trip around 10 miles I believe (but feels like a lot more).
If the weather looks threatening before we start, we can decide to park at the fee hut and run Waldrop trail through the trees, to the CMC cabin and then up to Long Lake and Isabelle Lake and get about 10 miles as well, with substantially less elevation gain than Niwot Ridge.
Let’s meet at Cindi and my house at 6:15 a.m. then head up Lefthand Canyon to Ward, then up to Brainard. Carpooling is a good idea as parking is quite limited.
Our house is at 182 Lefthand Canyon – turn west at the Greenbriar restaurant – we are the 4th house on the right – a small “Kangaroo Crossing” sign at the end of the driveway. Feel free to park in the driveway (there are a couple fo pull off areas) or on Lefthand.
Please RSVP so we know to wait for you.

Saturday, July 24 Long Run
This Saturday’s run will be to King Lake from Hessie trailhead.
http://www.protrails.com/trail.php?trailID=28
Meet at the Justice Center at 6th and Canyon by 6:15. We will all carpool up to
the Hessie Trailhead.
Some Banditos are running from Eldora to Fraser (starting from Hessie as well).
Those folks may need help being shuttled to the trailhead (as can’t park their
cars at Hessie overnight). We’ll figure that out Saturday morning.
Plan for a 2-1/2 hour run. The King Lake trail from Hesse is 10.8 miles. Bring
plenty of water, food, layers, etc. Potato chips and pretzels are always a hit
to share afterwards.
See you then! HAH!
