Did the DLS -> Flow Dog -> Flying Dog hookup. Good stuff. It is nice to get out and do some technical riding, now that I'm no longer focusing on endurance training.
This week, I also got out on a Colorado Springs trail I've never done before, Williams Canyon. Talk about awesome! Some really nice technical riding in a beautiful limestone canyon. Gotta get back there soon. The entrance drop-in below the shooting range is a bit "exciting."

The Williams Canyon trail is great! It's really like a completely different world down there. A nice way to do it is to ride 3/4 of the way around the Waldo Canyon loop and then drop down to Williams on the connector trail. Then you can ride up Williams (the connector dumps you in ~halfway down it) and then turn around and ride down Williams from the top.
Thanks for the beta on Williams Canyon. I'll have to try that way sometime.
Another great long ride is up Barr Trail to 638 and then down Heizer into Cascade. From there you can connect to Waldo/Williams by crossing the highway and picking up the trail that runs past Howard's Rock. This is a seldom traveled route, but is fantastic if you like all day epics. All the trails are on the Pikes Peak Atlas map.
