Lorin had called me earlier in the week about a Sunday ride. I told him if it was only 30 degrees or so, I wasn't riding!! It was 27 as I rolled into the parking area by the creek and started to suit up. COLD dang it!! A few snowflakes were floating around as well. Lorin said it would be better in the trees...... it was kinda hard to hear him though as he was suiting up in the cab of his truck with the heater on. The rest of the crew showed up right on time. It looked like a blue bike only ride! 4 YZ 250s and a YZ450. Rick, a fast B class Enduro guy led the way. Lorin and another 250 guy Dave?.. were in the middle with me and the 450 guy in the rear. Once we got rolling I didn't notice the cold at all. Lorin seemed to notice tiny things in the trail as he threw himself in the dirt several times to look at things close up. I never did figure out what he was looking for ...... Rick took us through some pretty gnarly sections I had never ridden before... a couple parts looked like no one had ridden them before judging by the amount of brush we busted through. After a quick break at the trucks, I dropped off my sweat shirt and Rick announced we were going "North of the road" This required riding through tunnels under the freeway on ice! The trails over there were super fun with a lot of ducking under trees, and some good technical root and rock ledge covered hill climbs. We all had a blast and no one broke themselves or the bikes. I was ready for another loop, but everyone else wanted to go watch some football game... Go figger!!?
