My memory of last Tuesday is as indeterminate
as this photo.
I do recall some brush crashing as we
pioneered the NE corner of Pollywood.
At the taco table, the conversation quickly turned to the upcoming LRP -The Fro Ho Down. The first question wasn't how many miles, or will there be water, but will we be playing basketball afterwards.
After a warm up roll from Fro's house, the first big climb of the day was a bruising
800 feet ascent over 0.8 mile on loose gullied single track. XT cleaned, but I
rode it faster, you decide who won. We followed that to another climb that
according to the hand written note on the sign was the hardest trail out there.
And so went the day, red line climbs followed
by white knuckle descents as we made a counter clockwise loop through the Rock
Creek OHV area on trails 1, 4, 9, and 3.
The most important ride is always the one
that happens next, and that’s tonight.
ONE
On the in.

Glad you all got a taste of the trails I've been riding since the 70's, yes I have a picture of me starting a race up there in '76.
ReplyDeleteOut - still working through the hamstring, rode MTB on Sunday, rode scared, thinking Sasquatch was going to smack me down.
We used to have to cross that creek before B built the bridge. That was always entertaining.
