Thanks for telling us about the show. It was awesome. For those that didn't get to attend. Here is a web link to what they talk about. Lots of good info, and quite helpful at planning a trip.

Lots of hardware odds and ends. Everything from zippers, to Dee's, to tools, and decorative items

I live in Littleton, and was thinking of taking the train downtown. I would be interested in meeting before hand for a subway sandwich or something. Anyone intersted/know of a good spot? I don't get downtown much.

Awesome adventure, Thanks for sharing. I sure looks like it was a blast, and some beautiful countryside.

Awesome trip report. Sure brings back memories of my very short OT trail experience. One of the best memeories I have with my Dad. Keep at it, you will you'll get that monkey down, and off the back tire where it belongs.

sorry for the size of the pic. I thought it was smaller than that.

Thanks On Track. I just registered. It should be fun. On a side note, I tried to ride section one yesterday, but was only able to get about 1-1.5 miles past strontium dam before hitting deep snow pack. I tried post holing for about a 1/2 mile to see if it would clear, but It didn't. Hopefully it didn't snow much up there last night. I am going to try again next Tues, to see if it is getting better. Here is a pic of Chattfiled, just before Waterton Canyon.

Hello! My name is Brian, but I go by triyourself, or DragonBear. I am a 37yr old male living in Denver. I am attempting to go back to school for a Biology degree. I want to be a park ranger for the US Forestry service when I grow up  . I have been a mountain biker since my teens, and started bikepacking about the time this site was created. Wish I had found it then. I am an avid outdoorsman, hunter, fisher, and survivalist. Since college, all my adventures have been 7 days or less, and none on the bike being more than 3 days. I have taken up triathlon in the past 2 years, and have gotten in shape to do some of the longer/tougher adventures I have always dreamed of doing. I am a native Texan who grew up roaming the back woods of the Sulpher River Basin in NE Texas. I moved to CO about 6 yrs ago. Since moving here I have had a yearning to do the CO trail. Whether in portions or all at once. Just to do it, but I was too lazy, busy with life, etc.... to just do it. It's crazy. I have done far more extreme, but for some reason I have let things get in the way of doing this trail. That is why I am so happy to find this site, now more than ever. It is an awesome site, and the creator should be commended.

Outdoor Adventureing Milestones:
-1st Self Supported Backpack: Age 8 with Grandad, 1 week touring Sulpher River bottoms.
-1st open star non bivy experience: Age 10 with Grandad, horse trekking through Texas. Used saddle blanket as a sleeping pad, saddle as pillow, and rain slicker as a cover blanket.
-1st Self Supported Solo Adventure: Age 15, 3 weeks backpacking, hunting, trapping in Sulpher River bottoms.
-1st Bikepacking Adventure: Age 19(1994ish), 6 days in Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas in the Arkansas River Basin. Myself and father spent two days backpacking, and were supposed to spend 4 days floating the river. Had a chance, and spent two riding bikes with our backpacks on our backs. Not ideal, but a blast none the less. Finished wih 2 days floating the river. Awesome journey.
-1st night in an Igloo: Age 36, Guenilla Pass CO in Feb, 2 day micro adventure. I can survive it at its worst. I don't like it, but can survive it. 
-CO Trail Experience: several day hikes on sections 1-6. Bike Sections 2 and 3 several times a year. Biked Section 5-6 twice, Backpacking Sections 4-5 twice. Several 1-2 day bikepacking adventures where I setup a base camp and bike out for 1 night.
-Continental Divide Trail Experience: Day hike on Loveland Pass 1/2 way to Berthoud Pass and back.
Numberous other camping, backpacking, and biking experiences that I have completed.

PM responded too.  It looks like we may have a trip coming together here. So far good dates look like 6/12-6/28, give or take a day or two. If there are others interested in joining us, speak up. The more the merrier!

I am looking for people who want to bikepack the Colorado Trail, or parts of it. I am open, but currently had planned for a mid June trip. 1 Week, maybe 2 at most. I had thought of starting at section 10(Leadville), and riding back to Denver. I live in Denver, so know I can break the full trail into multiple trips easier than those who live out of state. For the sake of having company, I am willing to do the entire trail. I normally am self supported, but can arrange for some outside support if needed. I am fairly familiar with sections 1-10 of the trail. I have hiked parts of each section, and bike section 2 and 3 several times a year. I am slow, but fit. I spend 9-12 hours a week in triathlon training, so cardio is good. However, I have no problems stopping frequently to smell the roses. The tri training is the work part of my riding. This is my fun time. I am an avid outdoorsman, and can help ease a good biker into outdoor adventuring. I am comfortable going extreme minimalist loading, but would prefer to make this more relaxed than that. In fact there are a couple of fishing holes I want to try for some dinner.
For anyone else riding here in CO, I am open to other trip options, trails, and dates. I am just looking to break my solo routine. It is very easy for me to get a 3-4 day weekend at the drop of a hat.
