CINCO DE MAYO - BLACKS CREEK 5/5/11

MAP

TOPO

TEXICANS – JOHN, DAVID

LOOP ~ 40 MILES

BEST CINCO DE MAYO I EVER HAD.  ONLY REGRET IS THE “KILLING MACHINE OBAMA” DIDN'T TAKE ANYBODY OUT WHILE I WAS CELEBRATING.

DECIDED TO RIDE W/O MY KNEE BRACES , MY RIGHT HAMSTRING HAD BEEN CRAMPING THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. MUCH BETTER ! MY KNEE WAS A LITTLE SORE. I’LL HAVE TO SEE HOW IT DOES ON A COUPLE MORE RIDES.

ONE OF THE NICE REMAINING SINGLE TRACKS THAT FOLLOWS A TRIBUTARY OF WILLOW CREEK.

SCOUTING OUT THE TRAIL THAT BYPASS’S THE BIG BEAVER PONDS ON WILLOW.

WILLOW CREEK WATER CROSSINGS

LOTS OF WATER. BESIDES THE RISK OF DROWNING YOUR BIKE, WATER VAPOR IS THE MOST POWERFUL GREEN HOUSE GAS.  AFTER RIDING THE DESERT FOR MONTHS WE WERE A LITTLE SHY OF THE WATER CROSSINGS.

WATCH FOR THE SAGE HEN @ MINUTE 6:49.
