ORIGINALLY HAD PLANNED TO RIDE LIME CREEK, BUT SATURDAYS STORM HAD US WORRIED ABOUT MUD AND SNOW. TRAFFIC CAM AT THE PINE TURN OFF LOOKED GOOD, BUT NO VIEWS OF THE MOUNTAIN.
DAVID LET ME PICK, SO WE HEADED TO BIRCH CREEK WITH THOUGHTS OF RIDING INTO SAVAGE CROSSING.
DAVID NEEDED TO STRETCH HIS BACK IN MURPHY. 1ST TIME IN ~ 30 YRS THAT I READ THIS MONUMENT.
BARRY- “ UGH.. THE MOST AWFUL HUMAN EXPERIENCE IS THE ARIZONA IMMIGRATION LAW”
FOUND SOME MORE GOOD WINTER RIDING.
DAVID CLEANED THE ROCKS IN HOGPEN. I HAD TO TAKE 2 RUNS BUT STILL DID BETTER THAN LAST TIME.
WE TURNED AROUND ON THE WAY INTO SAVAGE CROSSING BECAUSE OF THE SNOW, MUD AND SLOP.
BACK TRACKED TO THE DOYLE MT TRAIL. MADE IT TO THE TOP, BUT FOUND A SNOW DRIFT ON THE FRONT SIDE. DECIDED TO BACK TRACK THRU HOG PEN.
AS WE LOADED UP IN THE TRAILER IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE MUD DID A NUMBER ON MY FORK SEALS. BOTH WERE LEAKING. THERE WAS A SHORT STRETCH WHERE THE MUD TRIED TO PACK IN BETWEEN THE FORKS AND WHEEL ON THE WAY INTO SAVAGE CROSSING. I HOPE LOYAL CAN TURN THEM AROUND TOMORROW !
DAVID & I WANT TO RIDE LIME CREEK ON TUESDAY. MIGHT HAVE TO RIDE THE 400.
Leak proof seals does not mean no leaking.
