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 Nice! But where's the coffee report? Greg I brought the 70 watt power converter, ......Chris brought the 90 watt coffee grinder.... oops, no workie. Chris also brought a 3 lb sledge and we confiscated a baggy holding clean rags to hold the beans while we "ground" them. Nothing like 3 day old Konazillian coffee in a percolator in the woods when it's chilly out. I left Chris a half pound of pure big island Kona to enjoy. Hmmm, I wonder if he'll add cream while I'm not looking? :-) |

Did you join the Marines? -- o-o-o-o Ride-A-Lot o-o-o-owww.schnauzers.ws Looks like an awesome time! Good for you guys! Everyone should have a getaway like this every once in a while. 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? Hardest part of these weekends is being able to ride hard stuff at elevation, where it feels like you can't take in enough oxygen to save your life. Our second ride had a fire road climb of about 7 milesl, with a gain of about 2,200ft, but most of it was in the last 2 miles, and that sucked! Our Marine, Highway Patrol Coffee Man did it without stopping, but he's plain nuckin futz. Jim and Carla were brave & bold enough to just come out one year and ride with a bunch of us, (04?) and they came from NY, so it can be done. CDB |

One of the better local rides here hits 10,000 and it's not too bad for the sea level dwelling freak crew. Maybe next year when the truck is paid for and cash flow better. JD |

Best fried potatoes, sausage and eggs on God's green earth. Washed down with Gary's coffee, man, that's the life. Yeah, the ride up to the mine, and the next 6 miles or so were pretty wierd. Stark, spooky, open, instead of tight, close and cozy. The exposure in parts was really highlighted without the trees and underbrush hiding the view of how far you could fall off. But that trail is just like me as I age gracefully, no matter what, it still ROCKS. CDB |
