Much thanks to JD, Bill Porter, and Bill O'Neil for the photos. I just
wanted to get a little taste out there before Porter and JD put up their
ride reports.

I've been in one of those hot rides and I ain't going no further at the
end deals. You guys look like a scene from My Bodyguard with JD
standing next to you.

No RR from me on that trail. I was thoroughly disappointed in most of
it, due to its being thrashed first by motos and then by skidiots. The
first section we rode was nice, as was past that big meadow and before
the skid-o-rama.

Now that's sad. It was great a few years ago, as I imagine Porter would
attest. (They really allow /motorcycles/ on that trail?!? Criminal.)

My mind is a little foggy but I believe he said he didn't remember the
middle section being whooped out and torn up. I have to confess, I rode the
section between Big Meadow and Sherman Pass on a motorcycle in 1977 or 1978.
It was open then but ours were the only motorcycle tracks and we didn't see
a hiker nor any mtn bikers that day. The bonus section up to Sherman Peak
and the section from Big Meadow out to Kernville is closed to motorcycles.

I was a little bummed with the moto-damage as well in the upper
sections. It was not that bad in 2003. Of course JD got the full
experience of the damage by bringing along the rigid bike.

Here is the video from the ride. It is 9:10 minutes long and 70MB in
size.

The camping was so nice, I think I going to take the family up there in
a week or so.
