A late report of muddy conditions at South Valley. The run location is
changed to Green Mtn., Rooney Road lot (T=3, P=2-4; N=3). The run will start at
6:15pm. The early group will still meet at 5:30pm.

Directions: From Denver, take 6th ave to the end of the freeway. Turn
onto Colfax or US 40. Go about 1 mile, just under the C-470 extension,
then turn left at the light, Rooney Road. The lot is about 1.5 miles
ahead, on the left.

From the south, take C-470 to Morrison Rd. Go west, then take the
first right onto Rooney Road, before you enter Morrison, by the Conoco
station. Rooney road goes by Bandimere Speedway, under C-470, then
ends about 2.5 miles up at Alameda. Go left, cross over C-470, then
take the next right onto Rooney Road again. The lot is about 1/2 mile
up on the right.

Route: There are several options. Please choose the appropriate route
for your speed to finish in about 1:00-1:10. Everyone starts by taking
the pedestrian bridge over C-470.

Beginner: Take the far right dirt trail. Follow the trail around the
south side of the mountain for 30-35 minutes, then turn around and
return the same way.

Intermediate: Follow the beginner route. Continue past the first few
trail junctions. There's a junction in ~0.75mi (GM1). Go right (left
takes you back to the start; straight climbs up steeply) and continue
around the south side of the mountain. The trail takes you near the
road, next to a small lot at ~2.0mi. At ~2.5mi, there a set of jeep
tracks heading up to the left. You'll see (in the daylight) a fence on
the left, up the hill. Continue to the next junction, the Utah trail,
3.1mi (UTAH1). Go left up the trail. After 1/2 mi, take sharp left at
the next trail junction. Continue another 1mi up the the service road.
Go left on the Service road, and follow it over the top, then down to
the finish.

Advanced: Start on the intermediate route. However, don't turn up the
Utah trail. Go straight, another 1/4 mi, to the dirt lot. At the far
end of the lot, go left up the single track trail. Follow it up for
1.25 mi to the TV towers. There, go left on the service road and
follow it back to the finish.

Advanced plus: Follow the advanced route to the start of the climb
from the dirt lot. About 0.6mi up, after a 90 degree left turn, look
for a small trail on the left. Take the trail for ~1/4 mi. Take the
next right, and continue another mile up to the service road. Go left
on the Service road, and follow it over the top, then down to the finish.
