- Janine riding the Upper Loop, Crested Butte, Colorado.
The Upper and Lower Loops in Crested Butte are great trails. They run parallel a nice little stream, and wind through some great stands of pine and aspen as they climb up the valley. It was a great place to ride and photograph! At 9,000 feet, I’m glad we are acclimatized to the elevation – no wonder everyone looks so fit around here!

Great shot Ron! I’m thinking this might be the trail we mountain biked, when we were there 14 years ago. Great area to ride!
Thanks Sherrie – I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.

Makes me want to take up biking!
Pretty scene and area Ron, I got into some nice color by Snow Basin Ski area this morning and some last week by Sundance in Provo Canyon
You should get a mountain bike Richard – it is a fun form of exercise!
Thanks Dennis – sounds like the colors up that way are far better then they are down here.
Thanks,
Ron
Hey Ron,
Fork some bucks outta your cheap a** and buy that rider some mtn biking gloves. Nobody should ride without them.
And go clipless with the pedals, too.
Really great shot, and that so classic Niebrugge light – warm, but not overbearing. Love it man.
Richard, take up mtn biking, but make sure you have decent health care first. And a healthy bank account for the black hole that is the pit you’ll be throwing bike repair money into. Then, by all means, enjoy.
Great shot Ron.
Cheers
Carl
Thanks Carl,
We were going to hire a model because we really can’t pull off the real mountain biking look with the baskets on the peddles, rim brakes and lack of full suspension – gloves might help a little, but probably won’t full anyone!
Thanks man,
Ron
