Boulder Banditos

Hi Banditos,

This Saturday, we will meet at Chautauqua Ranger Station at 8am for our long run. Directions here. See you then! Here’s the route:

Ok, Chillin of the Snow…we’ll be doing our warmup on Saturday by walking from the Ranger Station toward Mesa until we meet Bluebell at the Outhouse. That should get your heart rate going. We’ll peel off to the left and lumber on over Mesa until we intersect Bear Mountain Trail. This is a cutoff for a 10k for those wanting short mileage. Continuing up is a treat…Bear Canyon trail has been re-routed and new glorious switchbacks climb up, up, up. Joy of Joys. If the mileage is still about the same, we’re looking at 3.4 round trip added the the 6.2m (RT) for a total of 9.6m. This might seem a bit short on mileage but given that it’s supposed to snow through Saturday, this seems realistic. Additional mileage can be gained by either returning to Mesa and heading south out and back or by traversing the back side of Green Mountain. If anyone’s interested in additional mileage via either return, let me know and I’ll add a suggestion that’ll work your quads and hammies (Green Mtn) or lead you to leisure along Mesa. Happy Friday!

If you haven’t paid your blood money, cough it up or Dave Harrison will slap a lien on your favorite shoes. Seriously, Chief Money Bandita Dawn will be there on Saturday if you want to contribute.

Join us! Hah!
