Sorry for the delayed report. Got rolling yesterday morning around 7:30. 4-way>BSB>Cemetery>FKC>DTN>Cornwall DH>Hinman>Scov twisties. Ended up doing 8.1 miles.
I cleared the cemetery from Scoville to the fire road in one pass - no breaks, no dabs. Can't say I've ever done that before. next goal was to clear the FKC non-stop. I was denied on the last upper ledge, a spot I've cleared several times. I was moving on the ride. Next was a foray into Dick Tickler's Notch. I decided to snap a bunch pf pics of the drops and rollers in there. Tough trail to ride smoothly, but it's improving. I walked all the stunts. I can see myself riding some of the rollers and rocky spines someday. Here's the photo tour:
First major tech area. 30" drop looker's right, gnar spine looker's left:
Looking down:
Next drop (4+ footer):
Another 3+ footer:
Looking back up to the 3+ footer drop:
...which immediately sends you into this:
A lot steeper than it looks. Left line is steep loose roller. Right line is rock roller into a 30"+ drop. Far left line (out of view) is the pussy path. That's the way I went. Looking up to give a better idea of pitch:
