I guess a couple of years ago this trail was all singletrack but those days are done like disco. The trail consisted of mostly double track, some road, rivers, creeks and a dash of ridge top singletrack. All together we rode ~75 miles on Saturday most of which we would have never found without the help of the three guys we accidentally caught up with after taking the wrong trail. Believe me no amount of high tech gadgetry could have saved us if we didn't have a guide, mainly because there weren't any signs! Our group morphed into a 6 man team for the rest of the day and the trip couldn't have gone any smoother covering that amount of mileage with minimal wrecks and mechanicals.
I have to say I have been continually impressed with the level of camaraderie found with the offroad moto community. I have found that moto people are very cordial and helpful to everybody and are always looking for more people to share a ride and this was especially evident on Saturday. We didn't know these guys from a hole in the ground but each person contributed along the way making a hard day one to remember.

That trip looked sweet. Doug down on the tree was a good shot too. River crossings, steep climbs, and tight spots, ohh my!
You would have LOVED homey! How was the snow this past weekend?
