On the CX bike, accompanied by The Believer. Great exploration ride, have to go back to do some more exploring. Found an amazing waterfall in the middle of nowhere. Also saw two deer, a large turkey fly across the road and soar down into a canyon and a +/-250# black bear.

Interesting ride: 2 pretty serious crashes, 2 flat tires, 2 broken spokes and 1 rider lost for about 15 minutes. Trail in good shape, a little snow on lower Hallelujah, lots of debris on Pioneer and Hallelujah.

This was an exploratory route. Google Earth finally worked on this one, however there was quite a bit of tresspassing done to make it happen. The nice fella that lives on Blue Gravel Road let us through his property and even gave us directions. I don't advise trying this route as it has many No Trespassing signs and gates. We were lucky this guy was home and his gate was open. All and all a good ride, but doubt I'd do it again. Accompanied by Trucker, Tin Foil Hat Man, Chuckwagon and Raphael.

The deer were out in force this day.

Climbing early in the morning up Dieter's Trail.

On the Snow Mountain Ditch very early in the day.

On the singlespeed. Accompanied by Trucker, Billiam and Fiatissimo. I had two flats, front tire both times... Billiam crashed twice, the second was pretty brutal. A stick wedged between his front wheel and fork and catapulted him directly into the ground. I crashed on the last switchback coming down Hallelujah. It was great!

On the singlespeed for the first time in months. Accompanied by Trucker, the Believer, Raphael, & Billiam. Lots of new trails since last time I rode up there. Dusty, very dusty. It was great to his some fresh pow-pow, the trail is retarted! We didn't even ride all of the new stuff, we ran out of daylight.
