Re: Hiking to the tunnel

Please stay away on Sept. 30 & Oct. 1.

Not to worry, Steve. Looks like there's no chance I'll make either of the Chama Steam events again this year. And even if I attended, the problem only occurs when I hike out to the tunnel. When I ride, all's generally well.

Speaking of hiking out there, I ran into two couples there this year who'd scrambled down from the top, rather than hiking the grade from Osier. I'd never actually met someone who'd done that. Ran into the first couple just as they were tumbling (quite literally) the last few feet down to the grade, a few hundred yards from the tunnel. They were scratched, scraped, and covered in sweat.

Their first comment? "Never again!"
