Sweet singletrack at Buffalo Creek, CO
I’ve been hearing about these flowy trails for years, and I finally got a chance to ride ’em. Very nice.
Where: Buffalo Creek Mountain Bike Area, about 40 minutes southwest of Golden on highways 285 and 126.
Who: Me, Brett and Farid. Both of these guys are strong and quick. I was way off the back on the climb.
Route: Gashouse > Charlie’s Cutoff > Homestead > Sandy Wash. About two hours of riding.
Up: Moderate climb up a fire road then a twisty/rolling singletrack. Mostly middle ring.
Down: Fast and flowy. There are almost no rocks, but there are many turns — many of them loose and tricky. Good stuff.
Much of the area has burned recently. The exposure here feels like SoCal or Arizona. |
Brett transitions into a tight left. |
I plant my tires high on the bank then unclip to drop into the turn. |
Farid rocks his Enduro SL. |
Brett says braaap! |
Nice transition from this high-side to the next turn. Buff Creek is all about transitions between turns. |
I drifted higher up the bank then had to force the issue. |
There were lots of riders, but the park is so big it never felt crowded. |
