RIDERS- DAVID, JON, JOHN
LOOP- 35 MILES , TOO SHORT ! RODE SOME DIFFERENT TRAILS, BUT DIDN’T CLOCK ENOUGH MILES.
AS WE HEADED OUT OF TOWN ON THE FREEWAY THE RAIN WAS ROLLING IN, BUT AS WE MADE OUR WAY UP BLACKS CREEK ROAD IT CLEARED UP. JUST HAD A LIGHT MIST WHEN WE STARTED OUT.
JON PICKED THE WRONG LINE CROSSING THE CREEK. NOW HE KNOWS.
AT THE BEGINNING OF DEVIL’S HOLE, I WAS POKING ALONG THE TRAIL WHERE IT IS WIDE ENOUGH FOR MY TRUCK. I MANAGED TO CLIP A STUMP AND FLIP OFF THE TRAIL.
I WAS HANGING UPSIDE DOWN OVER THE CREEK WITH MY FOOT STUCK UNDER THE BIKE. AFTER I GOT UNTANGLED, I TRIED A COUPLE OF TIMES TO PULL THE BIKE UP ON THE TRAIL. DECIDED I NEEDED TO GO DOWN THRU THE CREEK. SHOULD HAVE BEEN EASY, BUT THE FRONT WHEEL PINNED AGAINST A LOG WITH THE BACK WHEEL STILL ON TOP OF THE BANK. WHEN I GOT THE BIKE OVER THE LOG IT WAS POINTED THE WRONG WAY. AFTER I GOT IT TURNED AROUND IT WAS EASY TO RIDE OUT.
I MET DAVID AND JON ,WHO WERE HEADED BACK TO LOOK FOR ME JUST PAST THE NARROW SPOTS.
LUNCH IN CANYON JUST ABOVE DEVILS HOLE.
DAVID CONSULTING MAP. I WANTED TO RIDE 322 DOWN FROM THE RIDGE.
RIDE OUT OF DEVIL’S HOLE
TRAIL 322-FUN TRAIL, NEED TO WORK ON STITCHING DIFFERENT ROUTES TOGETHER TO MAXIMIZE SINGLE TRACK ROUTES.
BACK IN THE DAY, BLACKS CREEK WAS FULL OF “JUST SINGLE TRACKS” LIKE 420.
SHORT DAY, BUT NO ONE HAD TO RIDE DOUBLE !
