<p>One of the good things about mountain biking alone is that I have plenty of time to stop and smell the flowers! And the wildflowers were out in full force last weekend up in Keystone.  I love my Nikon Perspective Control lens because it is also a macro, allowing me to shoot landscapes and closeups, with some unusual compositions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On my first day in Steamboat I did a local ride straight out of town.  The thunderstorms were threatening, and I needed to get a quick little ride in before the skies opened up.  So I headed to the base of Howelsen Hill, and started climbing the rod up to Emerald Mountain.  There is a pretty large network of trails up there.  I pretty much just wandered around, poking in and out of various tasty bits of singletrack.  I did find a map <a title="Steamboat Springs Emerald Mountain Howelsen Hill Trails" href="http://trailmapping.com/trails/united-states/colorado/steamboat-springs/lupine-loop-blair-witch-larrys-trail/" target="_blank">HERE</a>, that gives one possibility of linking the trails together.   This is the view from The Quarry.</p>

<p>The singletrack in this area is super tasty, mostly buff and fast.  The twisty parts in the aspen groves reminded me a lot of Park City riding.  The timing was right for wildflowers too!</p>

<p>The trails were fast and flowy.  These pictures don&#8217;t do any justice to the experience.  It was here that I decided that I need to get a helmet cam to really capture the experience, I didn&#8217;t feel like I could show what the trail looks like with still photos . . . so look for videos to be showing up sooner or later.</p>

<p>I was riding solo this trip, which makes it a little tough to get the action shots. :>) So here are a couple landscapes that I took along the way.</p>
