Rode Bunce today. The gate to Middle Saint Vrain trail is FINNALLY open. Coney Flats was way nice.
Measured 25" deep. Not epic for some parts of the country. But pretty nice in Colo.

On another note the Longmont paper, this morning, said a lady was air lifted out of Bunce School road. Said she rolled her quad. Probably a Grizz. Opps, did I say that?
Seriously, Hope shes ok!
That place just can't stay out of the news this year.

First off, yes, I hope that she will be OK.

Second, where are the pics?

25 inches sounds plenty deep to me.

Link to the story in the Boulder Daily Comrade

Not much info, but check out the comments below the story.

Also, do a seach on Bunce on that site, turns up alot of stuff about the ATV, er, porn gallery.

hey Scott, you on vacation or they just finally cut out all that overtime they had you working?

I cracked up at the comments.
Had training yesterday. The instructor wasn't very prepared so got done early.

COB!!!

Shame on you for stirrin' things up with all those comments.

I rode Bunce again on Sunday the 22nd. The Middle St. Vrain was closed then. I was hoping to ride that trail for the first time.

You mean 25" of water ? How many crossings like that are there on the trail?

Just 1 but it is 3 miles long.

You forgot to mention the uncertain bottom and the currents! That's what makes the three miles so much fun!

Yep. At Coney Flats. Real nice little water crossing.
COB's right, basically just one big one. A couple of smaller ones though.

Sounds like it'd be a good idea to strap some inner tubes to the old popo...

Wait till snow melts enough to ride the back side of YANKEE DOODLE LAKE, that is real stream riding experience.

Back side of Yankee Doodle Lake? You mean Jenny Creek?

That I duz! Trail #502

Don't forget to mention the tides at the water crossing. I heard it swallowed up a few motorcycles and a couple of sport quads.

So when does low tide hit here more than a mile above sea level?

I have been looking at the Jenny Creek Trail since we moved here and can't wait to go on a ride up it. I deffinatly want to make that ride this summer or early fall.

It isn't worth holding your breath over! It's okay but there really isn't that much of a challenge!

"isn't that much of a challenge"

so it might even be tame enough for me then

Gotta get down to 24" for a sport quad, that would make the water too close for getting up and over my moto-x boots. Still room to clear the air box though!

I don't wanna get wet or dirty when I ride.

Me niether!
But the Kaw got dirty & then she wanted a bath. She's like a black lab, just won't stay out of the water.
