There is even more bridges on trail than last year. I never had to drop to 1st and most of the trail was in 3rd gear.

Tim taking a rest waiting for Kurt to catch up.

Kurt told us he was tried and wanted to ride Julie Creek back down, didn’t feel like the challenge of Deadwood Ridge side hill. Heights gets to him when he is tried .
