Run the Rockies – 1

May 13, 2007

In an effort to stay off the asphalt as much as possible this summer, I picked up Steven Bragg’s Run the Rockies a few weeks ago to find some new places on the Front Range to run. I ran the my first of his 50 runs yesterday It was a 6.9 mi loop Bragg rated “moderate” and took about 68 minutes. I had to walk a hundred yards or so of the steep part of the trail on the west side, but the 1.5 mi descent to the trail head is very fast. Go in cooler weather as there is not much shade.
