ALMOST DECIDED NOT TO GO TUESDAY BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE TOO MUCKY FROM FROM SUNDAY’S SNOWSTORM. BUT DAVID CALLED MONDAY NIGHT AND ASKED IF WE ARE GOING, SO WE DECIDED TO GO ! GOOD CALL IT WAS A SUPER DAY, EVEN MADE IT OVER HALF MOON PASS !
DAVID NEEDED TO STRETCH HIS BACK, SO I FOUND A WIDE SPOT ON HWY 67 NEAR THE POWER LINES. WE FOUND THIS –STIMULUS MONEY AT WORK. USED TO BE GOOD 950 TRACK, NOW IT WILL BE A 70MPH ROAD !
I GUESS BUILDING ROADS HAVE LESS “ ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT “ THAN RIDING DIRT BIKES.
=========================================================
RIDERS – DAVID, MURRAY, JOHN
LOOP- 60 MILES
WE PARKED ALONG THE LOWER PORTION OF MISSILE BASE ROAD NEAR THE STOCK WELL JUST AS THE CLOUD COVER WAS BURNING OFF.
FOLLOWED FENCE LINES ,SAND WASHES AND SINGLE TRACKS TO POISON CREEK.
DAVID AND MURRAY ON TOP OF THE SAND HILL. TOOK ME TWO RUNS, WAITED TOO LONG TO DOWNSHIFT . ALL THE BIKES WERE SINGING TO GET TO THE TOP.
BARRY “ HEALTH CARE IS NOT DEAD IT’S JUST RESTING”.
BARRY SAW HIS SHADOW SO WE WILL HAVE AT LEAST 6 MORE WEEKS OF BAD SPEECHES.
HALF MOON PASS LOOKING NORTH
LOOKING SOUTH. SLICK CLIMB- THE TRAIL HAD HAD 2-3 INCHES OF SNOW IN THE RUTS.
THE BIKES WERE STEAMING WHEN WE FINALLY GOT ON TOP. PACKED SNOW ON THE RADIATORS TO COOL THEM OFF.
THE NORTH SLOPE ON THE WAY DOWN HAD 4-6 INCHES, NO WAY IT COULD BE CLIMBED ! PADDLED QUITE A BIT BECAUSE THE WAS NO TRACTION TO STEER. IT WAS EASIER FOLLOWING DAVID AND MURRAY’S TRACKS.
WENT TO LOUIE'S WITH THE FAMILY FOR DINNER, THEN HAD CAKE, PRESENTS AND WATCHED AMERICAN IDOL. GREAT DAY !
