April-
Jerry at Mt. And Road Bicycles approaches me about getting together some beginner trails near Idaho Springs. We discussed possibilities. Nothing had been done with area 28 I told him I thought this was a good start. I told him if he talked to the town administrator and if area 28 was a possibility I would put a proposal together.
As I was hiking area 28 I noticed anew trail that wasn’t there just the month before
MTBR post-got my dander up today- sorry gone removed
June-
Presented proposal to city council - still haven’t heard back.
Sounds kind of hopeless. A real can of worms now. But they said area 28 was public property and I would not be trespassing there.
So I decided to carry on as always. After all I have been traveling this route forever.Just thought I would try and help out.

-Clear Creek Watershed Foundation
what’s going to happen with Gilson Gulch and Area 28 now?
Just thought I would see what the Clear Creek Watershed Foundation was all about.
They had a big ado in town last weekend.
I.S. did say we would be ridding around windmills.
Looks like things might get interesting in CC
319 Grant Projects - Gilson Gulch & Upper Trail Creek
Gilson Gulch Orphanage 1500 Suitable Acres
CCWF BOARD of DIRECTORS
also
Clear Creek County Board of County Commissioners
Goals & Objectives
2011-2012
“Pursue and encourage opportunities that promote healthy stewardship of public lands” tup
Hopefully this will lead to more mtb opportunities and support from the local community.
I’m trying to remain positive but mountain biking doesn’t bring in that much revenue for the county. They prefer things that bring jobs and economic growth http://www.clearcreekwater.org/pdfs/RESymposium-Resource-Book-Feb-'09.pdf. Hopefully we an change that viewpoint.
Wonder if they will put bike racks on those trains?
