I'll be curious to know more about this fun uphill. Gas it? Stay left, stay right?

Welcome to OR!!

Did LDF ride out of the canyon?

Prolly have to wait for the report.

I'm betting she did!

(unless it was just too risky) Dr. Rock seems to be really good at judging the risk factors on these mobius trips. The further you are from home, the more time you have left on your trip, the less risk you take.

We thought yesterday was tough riding.

'till today.

This is almost better than the Dakar... I mean, really. Gotta get me some tassels!!

Don't be fooled ,LDF is a very skilled rider. If she doesn't feel confident about a certain section they will relay the bikes till they get to a safer area. Some times I think it has as much to do with how tired they are as to anything else. In the short time I was fortunate enough to ride with them I was impressed with some of the terrian we rode with no problem at all. Get this gal on open trail and she's like trying to catch smoke...........

Have a great trip guys

Thanks JD & dan. A solid day riding today. Everything just right, weather, terrain, routing, scenery. The whole package. A short day to Crater Lake tomorrow. If anyone wants to intercept us over the weekend, we'll try to camp @ crater lake tomorrow night. We have wifi tonight and will check PM's tonight & in the am.

Here's what it looks like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fi7yqYWWMM&feature=plcp This is rim to rim in about 17 minutes (on a much lighter bike) in a 1 - day transit of T2 last July. My issue was Baja Gearing, which made the climb out the west side an exercise in slipping the clutch (you'll hear plenty of that in the vid).

Pretty ballsy stuff on big, heavily loaded bikes - especially going east to west. Salute!

Great video! The east side drop in was a bit rocky but the climb out... I began to wonder if there really was a road at all!!!

Wow!

We're going deluxe tonight, staying @ the crater lake lodge, on opening day for the season. No camping up here, still too much snow. We'll go on a hike and take lotsa pitchers.

Crater Lake National Park just posted on their Facebook page that they had "16 hardy souls" show up for the ranger talk at the Crater Lake Lodge. I wonder if Doc and LDF were there for that.
