Rode Baldy and I forced myself to take a ton of pictures...

Barrier Lake lot:

Some of the initial fireroad then singletrack climb (I didn't stop to take the photos hence the blurriness):

Some more of the climbing section:

Views and trail near the top:

At the top:

Excellent PICS! Looks like some very clean riding, the kind of stuff I love!

Thanks

If you mean mud-free, not always - the climb up has some sections that can get soggy (and it rolls a bit so you get some tire spray). We rode it 3 weeks ago and got hit with a thunderstorm which wetted down some very sticky mud on the climb. The downhill drains well and was dry though.

You have to love those clean rides though!

Thanks
