Jan 23 Mesa Verde recap

Beautiful day, if a bit raw, for a ride up Mesa Verde. Nice 42 miles from Dolores and back. Last 2 weeks I've chatted with 2 rangers at the gate, and neither had a problem with a solo rider going as far as the tunnel and back - hopefully that friendly attitude will continue with 3 or more riders. Only 2 trails of ice across the road, making for a speedy descent.
