    Yesssssssss. Well worth the 1hr it took me to climb (with stops to take photos). I got stuck behind some dork on a scooter going down, though. Probably for my own good, though. I saw some people starting up the singletrack but it looked too soft to even be open. I stopped at a shop and talked with a guy that said the trails wouldn't be open until the last day I was there. Glad I didn't take my mountain bike, then.

    Yeah, it's easy to go faster then the vehicles down it. It's 'technically' illegal to pass vehicles on the way down... 'technically'...

    I didn't feel safe doing so. I ended up getting stuck behind 6 or so cars in a line. I would really just like to ride down it all day long. So much fun. I didn't know you were in Golden. I have two friends that live there, just off of Washington and 5th. We saw someone with Scott County plates on their car, that wouldn't happen to be you, would it? I've been looking at going back to school and CU-Boulder is at the top of my short list.
