Looping Colby



We had a nice sunny day for the Wake Up the Earth ride in Turner on Saturday. We took on some early season hill climbing. and were rewarded with some spectacular views of distant snow-capped mountains. This Saturday we will revisit a classic tour over the Colby Loop, starting at the same location as in pre-Covid days, although the location has since been transformed quite a bit, so we've included a drone's view of the ride start. Hope to see you there!
