SOCIAL JUSTICE LEAGUE–JACKS CREEK 11/25/2017

MAP

TOPO

Loop ~ 45 miles
Riders – Loyal , Scott, John , Spode Daddy

Loyal put out a call to ride Jack’s Creek on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, the conditions were forecasted to be 
warm and moist.

It was long day for me.  I got up at 4am to take #2 son to the airport , then met the crew at the Albertsons parking lot
at 9AM. There was a stiff breeze in Boise , but when we unloaded it was still and the ground was wet.

I had a few spills -

Went down in two inches of water when crossing Little Jack Creek , then fell down again when I stood up !

Somewhere I bent my front rotor which contributed to my spill in the creek .

High sided in rock garden when I went to dab .

Tried a “Robbie Maddison” hitting a mud puddle at ~ 50 mph ( sudden deceleration ).
