I am trying to resolve it. I used to be able to post videos without this issue. Smugmug did some changes and I can't figure it out.

You guys are animals!! Tom & i did Kane Creek (allegedly a 3 hour tour.. we felt like gilligan's island). I don't want to go there, again. I forget about the testosterone of youth..

100 miles loop. Some pavement involved. Mostly easy, very scenic. Onion creek has bunch of cool water crossings.
Rose Garden Hill is a very tough section.

Here I performed a very skilled move "corkscrew"

First pic I am pointing up, then give some gas - bike stands up, turns 180 degrees and slams in downhill direction. It must looked really funny, because other guys couldn't stop laughing.

Jim is laughing his ass off

Made it, Only Don made it all the way up by himself.

Then we rode to TOW. Moderate ride, rocky, similar to Porcupine rim. Views at the top are the best in the area.

Just pics, no comments

I see how you guys were on the ground so much that all those jeep passed you all on rose garden sorry you all didnt stay in town longer or stop by theKTM ADV event here looks like next year

666 · 10-18-2010, 10:59 PM

We just doing this stuff on vacation, which means I need more vacation so I have more time to practice.

I was really surprised by the jeeps. First one just went all the way in less than 5 minutes. He was group leader who does it for leaving. Rest of the group were really slow and had harder time then we did.

666 · 10-19-2010, 08:49 PM

This was my last ride before going home. It's short. In and out. May be 1.5 hours.
But at this point we were really beat up and tired.
There are a lot of mountain bikers, most of them were very unfriendly(I am mountain bike myself a lot, screw them). Nice hike at the end. Few rocky steps, most easy to go down, and back. But one is scary.

End of the trail. Potash plant

Darren and Anders

Going back

made it

Done

That's it. Have fun

The way you spun the bike around and stuck the landing, if I had an olympic score card I would have shown you a '10'.
Even the picture still makes me laugh.

8thdwarf · 10-20-2010, 07:25 PM

awesome pics.... made me tired just looking at you guys dragging stuff up hill... great adventure to be sure....

666 · 10-20-2010, 09:53 PM

Last night I was checking out my clutch and found that last time I worked on it I put one too many steel plates and not enough friction plates.
3 steel plates were fused together. I guess I had too much red wine that night.
That would explain funny clutch action .

B-Rod · 10-24-2010, 07:24 PM

Awesome!

Sweet report about a fantastic looking area.
