This is the first ride of the year up Dutch Creek Trail, in Durango, CO. This was a recon ride to see how much deadfall and snow remained on the trail, and how much work would be needed to clear the trail for the upcoming season.
@Flan Adam's in Italy until next Friday (lucky dog). I'm sure he'll be itchin' to ride when he gets back. The Angle Fire race is coming up in a couple of weeks. You guys should make it down for that one. Not very often you get permission to ride straight up a ski resort.
@riderthreefifteen That's awesome news, by the way did Adam move? I just moved in across from him at recodo del rio and havent seen him since I moved in
@Flan I rode the entire loop last night (Hermosa/Dutch/Pinkerton/Jones) and it was all clear, other than a few muddy sections. I was amazed at how fast the snow melted. The dust is already getting bad. I saw your track the night of this video - thought you might have been Kurlander. I think his Thursday night crew made it up last week and cut the remaining trees. Maybe we'll cross paths up there sometime ;)
I hit dutch about three weeks ago, cleared all the avalanche debris off the trail at 2:33 as well as a bunch of other trees that had fallen and took a way high line over the all the avi debris where you stopped. Looks like much of the snow has melted in that area since then, good to see its clearable now thanks to you. Not sure how far you went but I made it pretty far until I hit some impassable snow. Thanks for helping clear the trail
