My other post yesterday showed what I was in for if I went down this trail.
The weather was perfect. In the high 60's low 70's F. The bike was ready, the water bottles were now in a heavy duty French Army surplus canvas bag.
Tires checked "cold" for 4 PSI. A full tank of gas. Brake adjusted for a quick engagement when needed. A nice ride on the trail loop.
A nice start. The bikes handle bars just fit through the two trees.
This will be a nice ride. Seems to be free of rocks so far.
A nice sweeping climb up the mountain. Wait,looks like a few rocks.
A Mountain Bike, we exchanged curtsies, I should have noticed how beat he was.
This was more like it. Smooth and climbing through the trees.
Everything is so nice and green. We have had lots of rain. This section was a series of "S" truns which was fun.
More rocks coming up. Looks passable at a good speed.
A reverse slope to the right was in-store in a few yards.
OK, those rocks are larger than you normally see on these trails. I'm sure there is a path around them....
Well sort of. 2D images just don't feed the Bull-Dog. A few layers of frame paint was scrapped off here.
A new trail head. And yes, the handlebars did scrape the two trees a little.
The trail did a 100 degree turn to the right, and then went out of sight. I thought I had missed to trail head.
I pulled a 180 and went up the trail and realized I was heading South which was not right.
I drove back to the trail head.
This was the real trail. Others had opted not to go this way. I should have done the same thing, but common sense was on hold.
This ends part1.
