Good stuff dudes! The dizzer sounds good Mud, but what is the drafting table you have set up in the cockpit?? Downs love the Cali report with the big Tejas flag flying, too funny.
I finally snuck out for my first real ride since the "Cliff Incident" a few weeks back. I took off around 5:00 for my first attempt, trying to race an aggressive line of thunderstorms to the treeline. When it became apparent that lightning was successfully flanking me and would possibly beat me to the treeline I turned around and fled back home. Made another attempt an hour later and it was hero dirt all the way. Here are some locals I met on the way up.
Started breaking out into the higher meadows, flowers everywhere.
The view back towards town.
Big lonely country out here. I'm OK with that.
Self portrait, Hi Texas!
It was really hard to make progress on this ride because I kept stopping to take pictures. The colors were just stupid, right after a drenching and right before the sunset. Wow. I like it here.
Nice rocky little exit over slimy stones at the top of the valley. Don't fall here... pretty good walk out. Got into a bunch of mud trying to go higher and had to bail out. Lots of fun hitting the water bars on the way.
Ran into this guy at Deer Haven and had to quiz him about where he's found singletrack because that's a singletrack bike. Unfortunately no luck... the singletrack he knows is over in Sheridan. So far the only other bikes I've seen on the trail out here have been KTMs.
Ran the old highway home past hundreds of climber camps, and stopped in town just after they shut main down for the 5th of July street dance. Mom bought me a beer. Life is good.
