Join us this Sunday for a run up Argentine Pass. It's a chance to get
in some climbing at elevation, and escape the heat.

Meet at at 7:00am, at the Stegosaurus lot, at I70, Red Rocks exit,
#259. We'll carpool from there. This is the lot we use for the
Hogback/Matthews Winters run.

Argentine Pass is Colorado's highest pass, at 13,192'. We'll drive to
Silverplume, exit 226, 2 miles past Georgetown. There's a big lot just
off the highway.

The route is easy to follow. Starting under I70, 9,100', you start up
a single-track, climbing ~900' in ~3mi. The route then becomes a 4wd
road to the top. If you make it to the top, it's another 8 mi or so.
You can continue down the other side, dropping 1,900' in ~2.25mi, or
follow the divide 2.5mi N to Grays peak. I'll bring some maps.

The route is out-and-back, so you can turn whenever you want. I'll run
about 3 hours round trip, turning around at about 2 hours. I don't
expect to make it all the way to the pass. You can certainly run
shorter. We'll figure out how far people want to run when we arrange
the carpools in the morning.

Mtn biking is an option too, either instead of or in addition
to running. For example, you can bike part way up, to the Waldorf Mine, lock
your bike, then run to the summit. The route is good for biking.

If you're coming from Evergreen or further west, drop me a line and we
can meet you on the way up I70 (e.g., Floyd Hill). Otherwise, no
response needed. Just show up Sunday morning.

If you're running late or are lost, call Adam on Sunday morning,
