RIDERS –DAVID, JOHN
IF ANYONE ASKS WE STUCK TO THE OFFICIAL BLM TRAILS.
THERE WAS A BIT OF AN INVERSION AS WE DROVE IN, BUT THE WIND SEEMED TO CLEAR IT OUT FROM THE OWYHEE FRONT. SURPRISINGLY THERE WEREN’T ANY BIKES AT RABBIT CREEK OR THE MURPHY SAND WASH.
LOOKED TO BE CLUB OF ARTIC CAT UTV’S AS WE PARKED.
AS WE WERE GETTING READY A TRUCK WITH 3 BIKES PULLED UP.
BEAUTIFUL DAY !
ONE OF FEW BITS OF SINGLE TRACK IN MURPHY.
SO WE RODE DOWN THE CREEK TO RIDE IT BACK OUT.
IT TOOK ME 3 TRIES TO CLIMB OVER THE LEDGE. IT’S AN EASY STEP UP , I JUST FLUBBED IT.
ON THE 1ST TRY THE ENGINE DIED WHEN I CHOPPED THE THROTTLE.
THE 2ND RUN JUST NOT ENOUGH MO.
THE 3RD TRY I HAD ENOUGH & KEPT A STEADY THROTTLE THRU THE CREEK.
FUN DAY . FIRST DESERT RIDE SINCE APRIL. GOT TO STRETCH OUT THE 250 ALL THE WAY TO 6TH GEAR IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS. EVEN THOUGH I WAS RIDING FASTER DAVE WOULD STILL SNEAK AWAY FROM ME, SO MUCH FOR SPEED DISTRIBUTION.
