JACKS CREEK–2/5/2011

COULDN’T FIND A FEZ IN TOWN, SO THE RIDE LOST IT’S THEME.

 

TRAIL BOSS – JOHN

RIDERS- SCOTT, KEITH , DAVID

LOOP – 53 MILES

(my) AVG SPEED – 18 MPH

 

I TRIED COMBINING ROUTES FROM PREVIOUS RIDES. I DID OK, ONLY GOT CONFUSED A COUPLE OF TIMES.

LOTS OF TWO TRACKS, THE HIGH FLATS GET CONFUSING. HAD WAYPOINTS FROM PREVIOUS RIDES, BUT I NEED MY READING GLASSES TO SEE THE GPS. THERE IS PROBABLY A COUPLE MORE SINGLE TRACKS /WASHES TO BUILD INTO THE ROUTE.

SINGLE TRACK ACROSS THE HIGHWAY HAS BEEN OBLITERATED BY RE-SEEDING WORK.

WITHIN A MILE OF THE TRUCK I DROP THE BIKE IN A SANDWASH. DAMN TUMBLE WEEDS SPOOKED ME !

NICE SINGLE TRACK RUN ACROSS FLATS , ASH DEPOSIT.

I LOOK SLIMMER STANDING UP

 

DAVID CLIMBING BLUFF

 

 

“MOUNTAIN TRACK” THAT RUNS ABOVE LITTLE JACKS CREEK.

DROPPING INTO CREEK CROSSING.

 STOPPED FOR LUNCH IN THE BOTTOM OF CANYON TO GET OUT OF THE WIND.

 

TECHNICAL SPOT AT BOTTOM OF CREEK CROSSING. JUST NEEDS A ROCK & COUPLE OF BUSHES REMOVED AT  THE WATERS EDGE.

 

TOOK MORE THAN 2 TRIES BUT I’M NOT TELLING. I THINK THE SUN FINALLY MOVED OUT OF THE WAY.
