Ken Negus, Barry Ritchey and Walt Wapman ready to take on the Bull!
Colors were to be had.
A little burnt by an early season cold snap, but pretty none the less.
Good trail track on Johnny Bull.

Meandering meadows on Johnny Bull.
A little brake fixin'... stop the squeek!
Aspens standing tall.
B-man enjoy the day!
I think they call this a photographic technique.
Ken diggin' it... that face says it all!
Walt keeping us on track... well there is only one track!
Headed to the ridgeline!
Yellow brick road.
Headed along the contour to the ridge in the background.
Spectacular!
There it is! Calico Peak.
Don't fool yourself, Johnny Bull has some steep sections, fortunately we don't go up there...
Just along here!
Eagle Peak across the valley.
Finally we hit the Calico Trail. Johnny Bull was tough going, but not rugged.
Time for a break right below the ridgeline.
Ken enjoying the sunshine.
Looking down into the West Delores River Valley from where we came.
OK, now it starts getting rough. But not too far to go.
Eagle Peak and the ridgeline.
Up on top of the ridge looking at Calico Peak.
Looking down the valley towards Rico.
Looking back toward the West Dolores Valley.
Calico Panorama.
Other side of the ridgeline looking toward Anchor Peak.
I think Ken likes it up here.
Eagle Peak basin and the trail descent from here. One of Colorado's little known epic downhill runs!
Can ya dig it?
Oh yeah baby... let it roll below Eagle Peak.
On the other side of the Eagle Peak Basin looking at Anchor Peak and Expectation Mt.
Does it get much better than this?
Anchor and Expectation
Ken in the zone... the FUN Zone!
Kabitzing about the first part of an awesome run. More fun to be had.
I believe that's Mt. Wilson. Not sure, but I think so.
Wow... having just ridden about 10 miles coming off of Eagle Peak, we now have to descend Stoner Mesa in a riot of color. This sucks!!!
Ken wailing on Stoner.
Wee, wee, wee, all the way home!
Just rolling down the mesa.
Through the woods....
It just doesn't end....
So do you think these guys liked the ride? As Barry is trying to tell you, it was HUGE!
Pano of the Climb up to Calico Ridge. Eagle Peak to the right.

Walt enjoying the end of an epic day. I think the smile says it all!
What a place and what a fun ride.
Time for food, beer and trail talk!
Next day at Phil's Whirld!
B-Man diggin' it.
Walt rolling through.

But Ken doesn't mind.
