Ain't no big deal there is a section like that trail for about 7 miles long in my next coming ride (on Monday) and what sucks is that section start in z middle or even at z end of z ride

Too tough for me. Ride safe & take lots of pictures.

Is that the Smiley rock trail?? I've been on that. I'll have to look it up.

Headed west on it a ways until it got over this old guy's head on my XR650L or any other bike for that matter. I want to reccomend this trail to Terry & his crew. I assume it goes west to Copper Basin?

Just found it on the PNF TMR. It's not Smiley rock. I think Rattlecan had me on that 260 trail just north of that. Man, that trail was a blast!! Think I'll have to putting a loop together to include that 260 and check out that 54.

Who wants to ride Prescott!!!

Me me me. We did 260 down and 53 up. I usually do 54 down. It's mo better for momentum. I just did 260 up last week. I don't like it because it's a single track mountain bike trail. (should be designated as such IMO) It's always got mtn bikers on it and there isn't anywhere to pass. We have plenty of trails without 260.

AZ TOM · 05-25-2012, 05:02 PM

54 down I might attempt but for me up is a no go. I think Smiley Rock/ Martin Canyon more doable. Technically that is

I think Copper Creek is one of my all time favorites. It's short but sweet!

We did an awsome ride (me & Bigbugberg) ~ 230 miles off road. Some of these runs were rocky with ruts & switch backs & more

, So if z deep ruts won't get u a big rock at z end of that ruts will

. Thanks Pete for joining me, if i have to give a prize for rider of the year 2012 that would go to Bigbugberg

...Pictures & vids coming up later.

DurtKlod · 05-29-2012, 10:45 AM

Glad to see you found somebody to keep you company. Lookin' forward to the documentation... and a ride route! Last year, Bigbugberg and I only made it as far as Long Lake and by that point, I was pretty much beat and wimped out. Slabbed it all the way back and wore out my 606 in the process.

Bigbugberg · 05-29-2012, 12:11 PM

Let me summarize the ride with Eddy!!!

Rocks, rocks, rocks, with some rocks, and more rocks, sprinkled with rocks, with rocks on the side, and some rocks as a garnish. In between the rocks were rocks, small rocks, big rocks, rocks of all sizes. Some rocks you couldn't see because of all the rocks.

Seriously though, it wasn't ALL rocks... There were also ruts! And roots!

Thanks Eddy! Yesterday I couldn't have done it without you, today I can't do it without Advil!!!
