Another '07 Leadville pic.

This picture was taken at the end of the Mount Massive ride that Keeley and I took. We do NOT take customers on this ride. The reason for this is the ride is almost entirely straight up and down. even though the trail was rated category 1 for the most part and bits of it were category 2 on the hiking trail index it is just a little to much for the majority of the people we take on rides.

So origianly the owner of the mules was going to go riding with us be she had to go back home to Indiana to deal with a family emergency. In the end Keely and I rode the mountain by ourselves. We saw the WhatTheFuckIsIt creature also known as a marmot or whistle pig. Then of course we saw the other side of the mountain. For those of you who are wondering I will be uploading that one as well.
