Deer Creek Canyon ruthless 100 yards of rock garden
http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...d=9&photo=2102
This is a blast going down, I clear it no problem and at high speed. He's going up the easy line, I go up and down the left of where he is. http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...d=9&photo=2103 This is also a point of the trail where you're at about 30MPH if you don't brake. I drop down to 20MPH so I don't die. http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...d=9&photo=2104 Waterlogs and rock gardens after "the wall", this is mean stuff, "The Wall" and thereafter is at least 100 yards of ruthless technical rocks, waterlogs, and sharp turns. "The Wall" is the beginning of the mean stuff, if you can clear that you should be ok on the rest but it does not let up or stop, and if you don't brake you'll be hauling some ass to put it mildly. As one guy said about "Mount Falcon" which is less mean than this, you can't feel your hands at the end, they're numb due to your "gripping for life" due to the vigorous jagged shaking of the bike, you have to wait awhile to get the feeling back in your hands once you're done. Good gloves are a necessity. I do it all without a helmet!! http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...d=9&photo=2105 The start of "the wall" from looking up at it, and you can note the rocks on the right side coming down the mountain, those rocks were part of the trail, just as big, but they chiseled them away in the name of "our safety", last year they were there and made it far more tough to pick a line and manuever while out of necessity having to maintain high speed. Government makes me sick (power fanatics), this is the first 10 yards of 100 of rock gardens & waterlogs and one switchback that is a constant sequence, and quite a drug if you can handle it http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...d=9&photo=2106 Bottom half of DCC going up is technical, I actually divy up the trail into 1/3rds, the very bottom up to "the wall" is extreme technical, from there on up is light, and the very top is non-technical and very scenic both Red Mesa Loop and Parmalee Gulch, but you gotta be techy capable to get there to enjoy that treasure. This excludes Ride-A-Lot unless he hires someone to fix him. http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...d=9&photo=2107 This 20 yard section is the end of a 100 yard section of severe rock gardens that are constant and you have to maintain decent speed to clear it. Deer Creek Canyon is under rated in my opinion, I feel it should be black diamond for sure yet it was rated intermediate and beginner http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...d=9&photo=2108 The beginning of "the wall" going up which is 100 yards if not more of constant rock garden, I'd gladly teach Ride-A-Lot to clear this entire trail in one day but he has to buy me a video camera. I'm a professional motivational speaker and also psychological expert at helping wussys like Ride-A-Lot progress forward in life. Ride-A-Lot is pretending to be in another state but is in Colorado still obeying his puppet master females whom have exploited his weaknesses and want to preserve them so they can continue to use Ridey as a puppet. I want to progress Ridey beyond this, all he has to do is buy me a video camera. |
