Great ride today. Rivithead242(TT) made it out nice and early for a foggy, drizzled ride. Sold a day pass ($5) to some quadders that had never been in the forest apparently. We skipped along 3N21 without incident, and fiddled with all the good quadtrak.
The thick fog left us with 40 feet or so of visibility and made our travels on the 3N21 much more entertaining. On the way back the GPS even lost sat connection shortly due to the fog. Great experience.
3N24 which is usually quite loose sand, has benefited from the rain greatly, even since sunday! We barrelled down all the usual quadtrak and found ourselves at the top of the eastern hillclimb at 5117ft and dropped down the 440ft eastern sandhill.
My brother had his way with a few hillclimbs attempts and progressively got further and further up (what we consider) the hardest paths up east and west sand hills. I gave it a few attempts and generally had a great time at Baldy. Didn't want to get strained before spangler!!!
33 miles (probably more) of sand and fog was worth it all the way around. Now mapped on google earth, i see we even missed more fun stuff that is left out there. I guess I'll have to get my act together and remember all the stuff I want to hit and do it in a sensible loop.
GOPRO is in the mail, so soon I can try and capture some of these great times. Pulling out the digital is just too much trouble halfway up a 400ft hillclimb! -BIG DAN
