The workday at Greensfelder on Feb. 26th marks your first chance to enter the 2011 Workday Season Raffle for a GT Peace 9r donated by Ballwin Cycles. Yes, you can join the cool boys and girls and ride big wheels.

Join GORC & St. Louis County Parks at Greensfelder Park on Sat, February 27th, 2010 from 9am to 1pm to help build new trail and re-route sections of existing trail at Greensfelder Park. We will be re-routing a short steep section at the end of the Declue/Greenrock Trail where it ties into the Scenic Loop road.

Thanks to all of those who volunteered, 2009 was another busy, and successful year. Of course, the biggest highlight is […]

The second running of the Berryman Epic was a wet one. With the river out of its banks and the trails in less than great shape, riders got wet and muddy but the weekend’s spirit remained high. This year the promoters scored a Mueller’s beer trailer from the Springfield, MO microbrewery. The BT Epic crew provided tons of prizes and very fairly pulled tickets from a Tour or Race bucket.

Tuesday night several club members went to REI to showcase the goods and the goodness of GORC. Held at the REI in Brentwood, the night celebrated being outdoors and the country’s treasures – our National Parks. REI sponsored the night and promoted Ken Burns’ new National Parks documentary.

Lisa and myself rode up Keystone gulch to check out the Erickson Mine while the GORC crew rode Spruce Creek / Burro Trails near Breckenridge.

Beavers owned the stream following Keystone Gulch and you could see where staff kept knocking down the dams to keep the road from flooding.

We rode Peaks Trail on our 4th day and it was amazingly fun. The locals have some great summer riding, though, the season is short in and around Breckenridge. After all, this is ski country.

Our last day in Breckenridge was met with rain and so Lisa and I decided to road trip down to the Royal Gorge about 80 miles away and then head up through Salida to check out the downtown scene (and to relive some cool memories in that town).

More photos from the GORC trip. All from Matt’s camera. Durango Doug took myself and Lisa to a mine he saw from the house driveway. Spontaneous decision at dusk to check it out. Climbing in and out below the gate was a challenge. Worth the effort, though. Checking out inside the mine, Doug leads me deeper into the unknown. The rocks on the ground are from the mine roof breaking apart over time.

by Matt – only images from Matt’s camera, hopefully some photos from the other GORC crew soon. GORC has converged in Breckenridge, Colorado for some much needed R&R – which can only be achieved through mountainous climbs and starry-eyed vision quests. Here’s the start of our (hopefully) daily report.
