Lars took the group up qualifier, dropped chopping block to the canal trail, up Hazel creek to a loop around (see maps above on top right area). Local unknown got a rear flat and I stayed back to make sure everything was safe. With a quick repair, Local unknown and I met up with the group. A decision was made to long ride. Local unknown headed down barnes back towards home while the 8 others headed off to Cappys crossing (is that right?). We crossed MET headed downhill when all of the sudden, Councilman when down from a rut in the trail. Councilman's knee and forearm took a beating. After Cappy's crossing, Lars took us back to MET to drop the left lip. The ramp on the left lip decent is now completely un-rideable. At the bottom we headed clockwise around the lake and Lars decided to wrestle with a tree by heading straight in to it but got more hurt than the tree. We skipped Palins, took a brief swim and headed off to tacos.
GPS says: 23.5 miles, 3hr 12 minutes, 6k ft of climbing
Nice RR, safety. Lotb was in full form. I didn't see him tackle the tree, but I may have heard it. Lest we forget, I did go for a dip early in the ride. It was a night of folly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the regards Councilman. I totally forgot that you got your feet a bit wet when your handlebar decided to slap the power pole or sign post. Indeed that was another memorable event of the night. I sent out a back channel in regards to tomorrow's Tahoe ride. I'm hoping that at least another FT3 rider could join me.
