Buttercup Loop on Blue Mountain

Made this great loop around the lower reaches of Blue Mountain for a great mountain bike ride that featured 2 climbs and a good portion of single track. A big plus was that hardly anyone else was out on the trails…I might be a bit greedy on that one. [sgpx gpx=”/wp-content/uploads/gpx/Buttercup Loop.gpx”]
North Fork of Howard Creek, Montana

The trail along the North Fork of Howard Creek difficult with deep ruts and patches of loose gravel. The downhill was bumpy and jerky…and fast! [sgpx gpx=”/wp-content/uploads/gpx/North Fork of Howard Creek.gpx”]
McClain Creek Downhill

It took 48 minutes to gain the 1000 vertical feet and 3 miles distance, and just over 12 minutes to bomb all the way down.
