Velorution Valkyrie 2016 February 1, 2016February 2, 2016 by Nick Roadtrip to Durango on 285 dropping off Kenosha Pass here into South Park. Good local Mex in Durango Heading north of Mancos, Colorado toward Mancos State Park with views of the La Plata Mtns. Test ride out from the campsite the night before the race. I had forgotten what I loved about winter camping…shoveling! And the race is on… Struggling early – but hey, at least I’m ahead of someone! High point of the route, near 10,800′. Good views of the La Platas. Looking the other way from the high point into Utah. Cruising the flats above Lost Canyon Creek. This guy finished a few minutes ahead of me, I think I pulled in 11th out of 15 or so. Heading home over Wolf Creek Pass…in the dark…eesh I grabbed a cabin for the night in South Fork and then headed home.
