RIDERS – DAVID , JOHN

LOOP ~ 42 MILES

GREAT INDIAN SUMMER DAY. IT WAS ~ 30F WHEN LEFT THE TRUCK AND 60+ WHEN WE GOT BACK.
HAD A BIT OF SNOW AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS ON THE NORTH SLOPES.

DAVID'S SUMMARY -

“The weather was close to perfect, the dirt was too! The fall colors are in full swing up there. We saw 3 guys on quads at end of the Kirkham ridge trail at Bull Trout and one guy on foot at the bottom of Warm Springs but other than that we had the place to ourselves. Diner at Trudy's in Idaho City on the way home capped off a great day in the mountains of Idaho.”

Jubal Brown  at the bottom of President - works at Vurb Offroad.  He blew past me up the trail. “Caught up” with him when was getting David’s (Jones) bike back on the trail.  DJ launched his bike and landed the bike on a stump.  Near the bottom of the President Jubal’s riding buddy put a pass on me then crashed ! Banged up his hand. We guided  Dave out to the road that would take him to Hill City.

Side Note : Got some of those “tag less” underwear at Walmart. They prove to be confusing – harder to tell front from back & inside from outside Smile
