Ride pictures from Fred Burr

We rode the Fred Burr trail a few weeks ago and found that it had been graded and smoothed out on the road sections.  One of the fun aspects of the trail was fact that it was so rocky and wet.  Well, now it is quite a bit smoother, and consequently a lot faster.  Bummer...

Heading out.

Spring flowers in Montana, a buttercup?

The climb.

Fred Burr is known for the many stream crossings on the road.  Sometimes they aren't too bad, sometimes they can be real gushers.  This wasn't too bad.

Fred Burr Panoramas

This is a shot of the Fred Burr Creek.  I took another one in January where it was mostly frozen over.

Another pano of the lake.  Just after we got to the lake, the rain and wet snow started to move in, which you can see in the background.  Somehow, even though we left right away, we got hit by heavy rains most of the way back to the cars.

Lake Como Trail Exploration

Did a little trail exploration at Lake Como for the Thursday night ride.

This is a fun little section down a small canyon.

Start of the rocky section.

A little practice after the ride.
