RR's: AMB-ID 07 -Recap- Camping, Riding, Swimming
Howdy fans, trolls and friends.
Here are a few shots from our 7th annual AMB-ID weekend: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7728613...7601113321815/ Geedub flies into town Thursday, and rather than pack for our riding/ camping/swimming/eating weekend, we go riding, of course. A quick barney loop in the heat, a few brews, and hit the rack late. Up and attem, packing Alex's pickup w/gear, bikes, food, refreshments, and head for the high country. My favorite place on earth, camping near Stanley, Idaho. A roaring little town of less than a hundred high in the Sawtooth mountains. We ride Elk Meadows first, and you can read more about this hombre from my first time, http://tinyurl.com/2x5yxu only this time, we rode it a lot faster. I took the lead on the descents, but it was all I could do to hang on the climbs with ole Geedub, (what's that Penny & Gab named him, "Legs of Iron" or "Buns of Steel"?) and Alex. We do this beautiful loop pretty quick. You'll see how nice the scenery was by the couple of pictures I took. Back at the temporary hacienda, I treat the bros to chicken fajitas and other home-made treats. My years as an undercover chef on a cruise ship pays off some times. Morning, we pack the cooler and beach stuff, and head to Fisher/ Williams, a famous loop that's pretty well known as the must-do Idaho classic. After that truly dandy ride, we head for Redfish Lake, empty brown bottles and watch the wild life. I'm swimming a lot, while the brugly others are mostly kicking back and trying to get to know the locals on the white sand beach. Good stuff. Stay tuned for more pictures posted and maybe some video by Geedub. A great time, but hey, you shoulda been there. Smallest turnout ever, but we focused on quality, not quantity, heheh. And Penny would have been proud how early we woke up, and how easy it was to get everybody at the trailhead ready to ride. So, may your trails be narrow, crooked, lonesome and dangerous, leading to the most outrageous adventures. ~Paladin |

I'm truly happy for you all. Reading some of the RR's and such from out west, combined with the ever-growing MTB bug, has my good buddy Bret & I planning a similar getaway either next year or the year after. So far there's only two of us, but that's a start, right? We both already started the fund, and whenever we get a chance to ride together we look for climbs and the like that we can consider prep-work for the real mountains you've got out there. It's a start, right? |
