Just east of Cortez was our third ride in the area–Phil’s World. 18 miles of trails nicely laid out, uni-directional, and very popular. We rode most of the system, finally finding some trails (the Ledges Loop) that weren’t like a concrete sidewalk and more like dirt mountain bike trails. There’s a fun section called Rib Cage with great roller coasters. Cortez is a fun, friendly town-great ice cream shops,nice bike shop and it seems that there is a local habit of putting clever sayings on their signs: Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder (on a liquor store); how old you are is your business, how old you look is ours (a hair salon); Ice cream killed the dinosaurs, take revenge–eat more ice cream (ice cream shop); who says size doesn’t matter? No one likes a small glass of wine.
