"Phil's World". Those that have ridden it revere it. Those that haven't, well, you're missing out! Part rollercoaster, part BMX course-all just plain old fun! I rode it today with the Mighty Kiviok, who trains there every damn day, and he kicked my butt and yet I still had one of those adrenaline rushing, spirit lifting days - Mountain Biking is the greatest! Its hours later and I'm still rushing - oh, maybe that's the Endurofx still kicked in! Either way - awesome!
Haven't been there? It's just out of Cortez, CO, right across from the Montezuma fairgrounds - if you see a "no trespassing or you will be shot" sign you are in the right place, just go past the sign (not over the fence) thru the gate and you'll see the map and the trail will be obvious. Then, just ride, and enjoy, and then do it again! If you really like it, enter the 12 hour race there on Saturday, May 12th. That has got to be the most fun 12 hour race anywhere!
And if you overshoot the"ribcage" (you'll know it when you see it, or catch huge air on it) - go see Kiviok at Cortez Chiropractic and he'll fix you right up.
Ride it and let me know what you think!
