After 9 days off the CRF due to an ankle injury sustained on the South Draw ride I needed a fairly smooth ride to test it out so I decided to take the well travelled road from Thousand Lake Mountain to the Bentonite Hills. The road wasn't as smooth as I remember it due to the summer rains but the ankle was fine (ish).

The aspen high on Geyser Peak (10,596ft) are beginning to change colour.
