[QUOTE="Nestrick, post: 1143473, member: 45162"] Photo 13 ... [Lower photo] Yup, you guessed it ... Indy has succeeded again ... first 'adventure' of the day ... the wash job on the bike is trashed as we proceed down this rather messy looking trail that follows a small creek down the valley. We rode for quite some distance before the going became too arduous to consider fun any more [largely my opinion in this particular case] ... then we backtracked through the whole mess a second time! From my novice perspective, what makes riding such trails as this one a form of gambling involves the high degree of variability associated with submerged surface composition ... just when you begin to relax as most of the puddles are reasonably hard bottomed, you hit one that is pure, unadulterated, clay-based, slimy snot. Well, as you folks already know ... and Indy is always reminding me: "Momentum's your friend, unless you're out of control" ... I guess that’s why it is often said there is but a very fine line between genius and madness? Photo 14 ... [Middle photo] It is never too long before encountering another stream crossing ... here we witness Indy demonstrating perfect riding technique for the foot deep water ... good part is that you get rid of much of the mud you're carrying after one of these! Most of the crossings are rock bottomed and therefore relatively easy to traverse ... only the occasional larger stone causes any excitement. As mentioned previously, carrying an extra air filter and spark plug is prudent for such environs … especially if it is not too uncommon to find yourself under your bike rather than on top of it! Photo 15 … [Upper photo] Here’s a sample of what might be considered single track in the NF … looks like an abandoned ATV trail … it went into the woods for about 250 meters then headed straight up the mountainside [to the left in the frame] and apparently ended at the top on a ridge … here we see Indy coming down after the climb. I opted out on this side adventure … much too steep for me and the logs across the trail about half way up were just a bit over my head [or would, perhaps, put me on my head?] … besides, someone had to stay behind to take the pictures or you folks wouldn’t have anything to see.
