We here in the Colorado Front Range (Denver area) have a great beach too. Only problem is there isn't any water. No water!? Then what the f**k make it so great you might ask. Well, 65 million years ago it was a beach. It even has little dinosaur tracks running through the sand to prove it. Since then it has been tipped up at about a 60 degree angle and it now forms a long narrow hogback ridge. Some people call it Dinosaur Ridge, but its formal name is the Dokota Hogback Ridge. To us mountain bikers it's just Dakota Ridge and it has a kick-ass gnarly technical singletrack running right across the spine. I say who needs water to enjoy a great day at the beach when you can ride sweet singletrack instead?
