Can't say I have ever been biking in Feb before. It was 50 when I started out and 60 went I got back. Plenty warm for biking and of course sunny. Rode from the house to kokopelli trails, went around Rustlers loop, and then back. Good first outing for 2026.
After the Gooseberry hike in the AM it was time to do some slow easy walks.

Made it back to Fruita:
This is a steep one! One of those trails where you are looking off a cliff area and wonder how the trail will get you down. This trail starts at the top of Canyonlands and goes down to the valley floor. This is actually just one level of valley. The trail follows a wash for about 1.5 miles to White Road where you are on the edge of another canyon that goes down another thousand feet. Interesting trail and the first and last mile are tough. There are also a few exposed areas where you need to pay attention. A lot of the steep part is loose rock. Great views the whole time.
