Boulder Mountain Bike Patrol

Saturday June 17 afternoon

Lovely day in West Mag - dry as hell.... saw a steady stream of riders today and one mechanical that required some help. A rear v-brake had a broken spring on one side and was rubbing into the rim. We did the best we could to make it ridable but there wasn't much to do except limp back to their car.

Fire is gonna be an issue. I was asked by some campers if campfires in the designated sites are okay.... the answer is NO. I even came upon a smouldering cigarette butt lying in the duff along the road; a motorcycle had just driven by.

We can't look the other way with fire. phone the sheriff at 303 441 4444 if you see one during this fire ban. For me, it's a zero tolerance situation.
