We headed out too PiPi valley for the Thanksgiving weekend.. I met up w/everybody at 5 corners.. We had a pretty big camp, 2-20' toy haulers and my freinds 35' We decided too go out for a quick ride w/just the bikes on trail 33.. About 45 minutes into it, i became seperated from everybody (Doug kx125, Rod cr500 and Craig on a cr250) So this is my 2nd time there in about 3 years, didnt have a map or anything, just me my bike and my gear.. Found a camp w/a couple of girls, asked if they knew where 5 corners is, they pointed in a direction then hooked me up w/a map.. Couldn't determine where i was on the map, so headed out looking for a cross trail... After about 45 minutes i ran into Doug, he was on his uncles cr500 YEAH!! I learned alot from this!! Never go out un prepared!!
So we headed back too camp and had some lunch.. Then we all took off on a ride Me on my kx250, DOug on his KX125, ROd on the CR500 and the rest Loretta, Keith, Alicia, Craig and Danny all on (dare i say..........................Quads) I went out and saw a side of California i never had imagined!! Trees, up hills, downhills, endless amounts of singletrack!! I think that day was one of the best yet!! Anyways, we headed over too the outskirts of Elkins Flat and turned and came bak, was getting late and we were getting low on fuel.. I definately plan on heading back!! this time w/a gps (so if you have a reccomendation, please share the info) and a small tool kit for me and the bike..
That night we all sat around a nice fire and had MANY laughs!! Then at about 1am, it happened........ RAIN!! Lots of rain.. So in the morning we packed up and called it a weekend, we were at about 5000' so didnt want too get stuck w/the 5th wheel, last time they got snowed in, cost him almost $1000 too get pulled out, the rod had black ice..
All in all it was a great weekend, friday was a definate learning experience and a Great day of riding bikes :ride:
