    Thanks to the govt shutdown, I just had to ride for work. We had no signal coming from the Microwave up on Frazier Mtn. Normally I would go the Ranger Station and ask for the key for the closed gate and drive up. But the office was closed. So rather than drop $3k into a helo ride, I decided to try a different solution. I haven't ridden this trail in well over 20 years but it paid off. A few downed trees made it interesting.

    For this ride I chose the trusty and nimble WR250. It was a great choice as I had to drag it under a fallen tree that had blocked the trail on the side of the mountain. It was about 30 miles round trip of mostly nice tight and moist single track goodness. I can't believe I haven't ridden this for so long.

    Anyway I made it to the site and got the system back up. I grabbed a couple of pics, called family and work to let them know I made it, and rode back the way I came. Will certainly return and bring friends to share the joy. Forgot

    Do you actually ride with your Spot tracker attached to your brace like that? I would think it would really interfere with your helmet.

    It seems to work fine for me. It's a Leatt Fusion 3.0 so it's a solid connection. However, I do want to get the better mount Caselli foundation sells to try a different spot.
