Sequoia National Forest report

HT and I are up here now, it's Warped time. Did Rincon yesterday, the whole thing, great trail, cut a lot of trees off the trail. Snow drifts were big and deep around Trout Creek Trail. Great ride. Day two, Waggy Ridge up to JUst Outstanding. Bike started clanking, doesn't sound good. Great week end otherwise. Pics to follow.

When my CRF450 started clanking, it needed a new crankshaft. Dos'nt sound good. I wish I was up there to ride with you FF's.

I just started looking at the different districts maps..lots of green sticky trails but a ton that don't connect :huh

Is there a online source for the kern river ranger district map ? Usfs site don't have it.

Well the door was open so I walked in.


If your going to use trial's tire's the MT 43 is the best.

perry, it looks very nice out there.

awesome pics.

Uh oh I am stupid I was looking for the wrong thing.. I needed the kern plateau maps but I found them... Everything I was looking or is on the usfs site

great ride at WARPED.

I'll have a full report up ASAP.


FYI if you ride up there anytime soon ... bring a saw. tons of downed trees.:eek1



lets just say, upper Rincon is the most beautiful riding I've ever done in my life!!!

Maps bring people... people bring whoops... next thing you know it's Kennedy Meadows No. 2.

Ride with friends... make memories... not whoops !

another great warped weekend

Sunday the 14th it was down to Catfish and me, here's the pics of the day.

Mike had never been on "the Plunge" Lost Rider had cleared downfalls for us just a few days earlier, thanks Finn!

the trail is fast and wide at the bottom

we had perfect weather


here's Catfish on one of the many switchbacks on the way up







picking our way through the rocks

up into the meadowlands.....







almost no snow! a dry year for sure.





single track snow crossing, Catfish and Ms. Beta

Big Meadow corral



Caution; entering "the Plunge"!

this trail drops over 5000' in just a few miles...."cover your brakes"











Mike took this great panorama shot on the way down the hill

nice view of the green hill

the flowers were in full bloom



We ended the day with a Blue Ribbon, a leftover from Death Valley Daze, thanks RAZR!

It was a great three days of riding in the mountains, thanks to all who made it up there. See ya on the trail.....Perry

Nice pictures Perry! I wish I could have stayed and ridden with you guys on Sunday. A beer sounded good when I got back to the trucks, but I just changed threw everything and hauled arse. I rode from where we turned around back to the trucks metal to metal on the rear brake. I wore halfway through the backing plates on the pads and the rotor took a beating as well. fun times....

Beautiful. Photo's are so good I can smell the scrub pines and land.

I love that smell......

Thanks, gotta love the I-phone,lol.

Need to get a real camera someday.

Ben, could you mic. the rear rotor? I'm curious to see how thin you wore it.

Great riding with you as always.



.

Time and day to be determined by who can go.....

This week or next, near Visalia, up to Dillonwood Grove.

Maybe Thorsday? Meet up at Masters Paint & Body after work.

Pm me, big bike and noob friendly.

Perry

American beer!

goodass riding going around here

Ben, you ride your rear brake like it's a two bit whore,LOL.

I wanna ride like that! On the gas, on the brakes, repeat....
