Fat Ass News

Looks like another Fat Ass course is off limits.  Read about it here.  Might have to just have a six hour run around the Manitou track.  Which would suck except that we could all watch Nick Pedophilia suffer and fail.  We need to gather all essential South CRUD personnel to drink some beers and figure out what to do next.

Here's a shot from the parking lot at Gold Camp and High Drive, near Bear Creek Park:

The dog is super bummed about this, as Bear Creek Canyon is one of our go-to hikes in the summer due to the water crossings.  About three quarters of a mile up the dirt road from this sign is where the Section 16 loop drops off.  If you've run the Fat Ass you've been on this road.

And here's the scene on Gold Camp, heading towards Cap't Jacks:

Cheyenne Canon is effectively cut off now.  Sad day here since we went there several times a week for either biking, hiking, or running.  They keep shutting down trails here and I'm gonna have to talk to $100 about moving back to Pittsburgh.

Two good workouts today.  Nine mile run with the Sunrise Striders this morning, 10 mile bike after work.  Need to get back to work since I've been talking mad shit about the upcoming Fall Series.  I'm out of town for the first race of the series but I should be in decent shape by the time race #2 rolls around.
