Francine had this area on her radar. The Lunch Loops, so named because they were maybe 5 minutes from the center of town in Grand Junction. We had driven by the area on our scenic drive thru the Colorado National Monument the day before. I noticed that the temperatures looked unbearable. Joggers were turning bright red from the heat, and the visitor center ,just up canyon, had an overlook called Hell's kitchen. Well , Francine insisted that this was where we should ride, so we got an early morning start, and had a rocking ride. Rode up Pete-E-Kees trail, Up Widowmaker hill to the road. Took the new connector down the Gunny Trail, cheated back up the road and took Pre-Nup to Holy Cross. This area has some sweet user built trail. The amount of effort to carve out these trails is incredible. Holy Cross had some great technical sections that had both Francine and I walking. We didn't even think of riding the double diamond trails.
