David and I went back to Warm Springs to ride some new trails we attempted last week.
(I found my water proof gloves in my pack just as we headed out.)
Loop ~ 55 miles Avg speed 15 MPH
Lots of nice single track, not technical ,but you could really scoot along. We saw a couple of packs of mt bikers , horses but no dirt bikes which was surprising.
Warfield looking south after climbing from Warm Springs. Seemed easier than last year.
Still a rocky climb and you had to be careful to stay out of the ruts.
Looking north down Warfield drainage.
Bottom of Warfield. Not so gnarly but it would be a tougher ride in the opposite
direction to get back on the ridge.
David ( yeap 2 of him) crossing Warm Springs Creek at Warfield
Mountain Bikers at Red Warrior & Lodgepole intersection. They were friendly although some of the women looked like they belong to Barry’s goon squad. The guy’s in the lead weren’t even puffing or sweating.
Greenhorn & Lodgepole intersection
Looking up Greenhorn.
We stopped at the Wrangler in Fairfield for burgers & shakes.
Barry – “ Children what are the key points of my BACK TO SCHOOL SPEECH speech? “
A) Have you ever seen a grown man naked ?
B) What is green on the outside & red on the inside ?
1) A CZAR (special adviser to President Obama)
2) An environmentalist
3) A watermelon
4 ) all of the above
C) I have THE GIFT ?
David and I decided it’s worth an overnight trip. You could ride all the trails in a couple of days. I would like to spend a couple of nights along Warm Springs then head up to Stanley.
