I have not posted a ride report in some time (maybe because my riding has been far and few in between), so I figured I would share this one.
Rack and I rode this event last year and thought we would do it again this year. We added a few more guys to the list so there was 7 total.
This ride is put on by the RUTS North out of district 36. It is a two day event and runs from Just outside of Jackson, Ca through the forest and into Minden, NV. Once you hit Minden, you crash for the night and do another route back to Jackson the next day.
We did 168 miles on Saturday and 162 on Sunday. It is a combo of fire roads, jeep trails, single track, MTB trails and pavement. There are some long sections of pavement on this ride as it is hard for the club to link some of the mountain ranges without hitting some hwy, but in all it is a great ride and outstanding views.
Here is #5jr loaded up on Friday morning heading to work before we take off and met the crew in Jackson.
After work I headed out and met the crew in Jackson. Up early Sat morning to grab some go juice and food and headed out to check in and get ready to ride.
Here is the crew getting checked in.
I got my number for the event....They must know me (#5)
When we pulled in, I kept hearing this Rave music and sure enough, they had a rave going on all night and through the weekend...6am, one person on the turn table and one person bouncing around....
Had a little riders meeting and listening to the D36 pres tell us there are some big rocks out there, so watch out...
This bike was pretty cool. He had some family members battling cancer so he did a cancer scheme on his bike.
Alright, we are suited up and ready to head out.....
Stay tuned....
