Andrew, check out the Lowline trail at this time of year for a similar, but better, IMO ride. And another one on the list…

Thanks for the info. The peaking Aspens are a big reason to go ride the trail. Also, tick another one off the list!

Andrew- I also heard that most of the trees have been cut out, so you should be good to go on that front. I bet the Aspens are peaking right now, so it should be beautiful. Still not my favorite trail, but it’s always worth a look at something new, right?

I want to ride the Raggeds Trail this up coming weekend. I heard from Darin at the Gear Exchange in Glenwood that there are only about 3 trees down on the trail at this point. Hoping there aren’t hundreds like you encountered. Any more info about the trail?

Well, the rides I have done are great, the Entertainer is a big downhill from Panther Meadows with lots of log riding features, and the McCloud river trail is a nice XC with waterfalls and swimming holes. The network as a whole is a little lack luster compared to CB, Gunni, Winter Park, or Vail. But let’s face it, after riding for years in those zones, I’ve been spoiled rotten.
As it stands now, plan B is to keep givin’ er.

Yeah, Raggeds isn’t all one might think it could be, that’s for sure. We need to get down to Rio Grande Reservoir some time, without a doubt. How’s Shasta riding?

The Raggeds trail was a damn mess as of about three years ago, I lost the trail completely, and almost lost my bike trying to find the trail. Doesn’t sound like it has improved. The firs part looked good though, maybe I’ll try that one sometime. You guys been down to the Rio Grande rides yet this summer? I miss that one.
