Charcoal Ride
I headed up to Pine once I found out the trailhead and trails were open. I was very curious to see what the fire had done. As I pedaled in it was thick with smell of charcoal, the trail appeared normal despite some machinery tracks, as I gota few minutes in the burn scars began, I even los the trail in my headlamp for a second, then it was all gravy. I was happy to see that vegetation was spared. As I got a few miles in, the burn scars were here adn there, until around mile 5 there was a heavy burned area, sad to see for sure. That lasted about a mile and was a very eerie feeling being in such a heavily burned zone. From there it was intermittant again. Not much sign of spring around thats for sure. Once I got to Sycarmore creek the burns were gone. I am really grateful for this years rides spent in Pine, it's such a beautiful place. I made it to Washington Park and had tons of steam left but not time. Nice ride home on the forest road and that was that!

Pine Therapy
The Pine trailhead is still closed so Highline and 1/2 of Pine Canyon was off limits. So Rode Strawberry and bearfoot, was fantastic, only on out there on a warm October morning, love it up there, starting to feel like home, or where I wish was home.
