I got up early to ride the Kokopelli Trail. The name comes from a man named Koko who played a flute and spread wild flower seeds around this region. The sack of seeds he carried is called a pelli – hence Kokopelli.
This is the type of trails I was looking for. Well designed, great views and rideable (probably not a word). I rode Mary’s, Rustlers and Horsethief loops and took the dirt road back to the truck. Overall 2 hours and 40 minutes on the bike.
The trip to Gunnison was an uneventful drive down Highway 50. How crazy is that Highway 50 goes through Gunnison.
I stopped at the Gunnison Brewery for $1 fish tacos and a beer; hard to beat it.

I’m freezing – its 43 degrees and I sleep with the windows open, also my GPS revealed I’m at 7700 feet of elevation. I’m going to wait for it to warm a little before I go out to ride the Hartman Rock trail system. Hartman Rock is the same place we raced in 2007.
I placed the jars of peanut butter and blueberry jelly in my sneakers so they would break, well the blueberry jelly leaked in my shoes and I had to wash them this morning - FML
Dear Pedal Boy with Blueberry feet!!!!
