Trails like Simon Draw, Cache Canyon, Lemonhead, and the Boggy Loop are mostly dry and rideable, with only a few muddy spots remaining. Tuesday night trail work has wrapped up for the season—thanks to all the volunteers who keep our trails in shape!

Grateful to Janet, Roadie Doug and Jonathan for allowing me to join them as one of the subatomic Electrons that make up the Eclectic Hour that bring a diverse mix of music to listeners, though I would love to join Chris in the Morning on KBEAR in beautiful Cicely, Alaska.

    The federal government shutdown has reduced local tourism by about 20%, according to Mesa Verde Country CEO Brian Bartlett, though some visitors are still exploring the region’s fall colors and outdoor recreation. Mesa Verde National Park and nearby Utah monuments remain open in a limited capacity, while the Ute Mountain Tribal Park continues to offer select tours. Despite fewer visitors overall, Bartlett notes that visitor spending in 2025 is up compared to last year.
