Well, it's all the same to me. We stage at Pinnacles take a run down to Silverwood, come back for lunch and do stuff up on that side. I generally stay away from White Mountain pass, Redondo Ridge and anything else that might make me work too much or fall over. I do like the singletrack that leads up to Devils Hole, but generally walk my bike through the crossing.
Yep.....67 He'll tell you he's really slow, and does freeze up on some technical sections once in a while, but actually a decent rider. I only hope I'm still riding where he does at 67
man you guys (and gals), some of those are definitly not water crossings,,,,,you guys are nuts, those are like stream/water riding,,,,up river and down!! wow great fotos, tough and rocky(my fave) but with the added fun addition of a foot and more of rushing water!! Plus the fun of having 15lbs per water logged boot to drag around. Great fotos! Thanks for the post
Gosh, that area looks so Socal. It looks very familiar, in that it reminds me of Orriflame Canyon trail.
Close.The first one is at Corral canyon,The second is about 15 miles due south from there,give or take.
Ah the price we pay for perfect weather.Just kidding.That 2 inch deep creek can swell pretty quick at the right time of year.
Funny....I've ridden at Corral Canyon since 1981 (and I rode there last Monday) and the trail doesn't look familiar to me. And I have ridden every trail out there and I mean every, including the many that don't even exist anymore. I must be gettin old.
It is the "greenhorn trail"I belive.way in the back by the dam.It kinda hidden,but by far one of the best trails out there.
It's ok Kelly..... we''ll start laughing once the snow is falling and the frost is setting in...........and we are all kicking back at the beach..... T
Ain't that the truth... This is me crossing Rice Fork in December of `01... It was considerably lower when Michael Lueders' better half went through it on her Husky last May... Bikes were floating down it during the Sawmill Enduro in April of`03. Lots of folks lost their bikes at that race. We had to go out the next day and recover Eric's bike as it hydrolocked and bent the rod in two places. It took us almost 4 hours to tow it out of there. The snowmelt was considerable that time of year, and it had been raining non-stop all week and the ground was saturated. They ended up calling the race when blizzard conditions set in and bikes were floating away. I was never so happy to DNF a race. This is me at the start. Yes, the race started right at the creek, which had to be crossed about 6 times in less than 2 miles. I watered out twice and had to flip my bike over and pump the water out. That race was a dangerous mess. I wrote a poem about it... Hey! Here's another Husky in the water! Do I get bonus points for having 2 females in the water, too? She thinks I should be helping instead of taking photos... Me crossing Paramore Creek on street tires... Eric up at Plumas National Forest... It was cold on this ride in the Danskin Mountains of Idaho on Thanksgiving. Not as cold as it was going to get though... Oof...the icy ledge on the exit got me... Eric moving ice chunks in the Danskins... Ya notice how I always cross first to get photos of Eric? What's with that?? This crossing in Idaho was fine once we got into the actual creek itself.. I don't always go first... WoodsChick
No, actually it didn't. I was happy to get back to camp without any permanent damage! I should post it up here sometime... WoodsChick
Well, it is the Ride Reports section... I gotta look for it. I know it's around here somewhere... WoodsChick
Stroker, PV, that would be at the Miler Canyon T intersection with Pilot Rock. Crossed it on Thursday. I love riding up there. Did a 64 mile loop with my kids for my birthday, what a blast it was just me and my kids. Only ran across 5 other riders all day.
What is this "snow"you speak of?I think I've heard someone tell me about it.:smirk: Would it be off topic to post some snow pics?
