Sick friggin' ride this afternoon. I pulled in (right at 3 pm as usual :roll: ) and saw gmcunni and rueler were already suited up. We got rolling pretty quickly after I showed them my helmet cam rig job. We headed straight to the swamp warm-up and aimed for the A frame and ladder drops. I tailed rueler and hit all three, wheelie dropping the drops since I knew I was going way too slow. I survived though. We then looped back north and hit another little loop with another skinnier A frame (hit it) and a ladder to rock drop (skipped). I futzed around with the camera while rueler sessioned around. We then looped back to the first A frame and drops and I tailed rueler again, this time shotting vid. Gary hit the A frame both times!
We then crossed Scoville and south towards E. Chippins. At the 4 way we bee lined it back to Lamson Corner. I actually took the bridge over the river right near the lot without hesitating. Check another off the list. We then headed into the cemetery and did the big loop. I cleared both ledges up by the forest acces road. Gary did great on what is a pretty kick ass route. I was tailing him on the downhill and he was killing it on that hard tail. He flew into the steep washed out section right before the little bridge holding on for dear life it seemed.. Awesome! I think I got it on vid.
We paralled 69 back and we all hit that little log ladder (check another off the list!) just up from the radiator skinny. We looked at the skinny, but all skipped it. Once back near the A frame/drops, rueler split and Gary and I hit the ladders again to shoot some vid.
Great to have rueler on point much of the ride. He's very fast and kept us moving quickly. We finished the whole ride in under 2:30 and logged 9-ish miles. I'm relying on Gary for the GPS track. The verdict on the helmet cam footage so far looks good. It stayed pretty solid for the whole ride. The only issue I see in the little bit of footage I look at is it seems the angle is pointing down too much. Good for the downhills, but not so much on the flats and ups. I'll put something together tonight. I have a 6 pack of Sierra Nevada Pale Ales to rip through tonight along with the editing! :lol:
Awesome ride fellas! The colors in the woods are great!

, you effin kill it, man. Rolled the A frames without a thought, attempted the first ladder, huffing the Cornwall hill and speeding the downhill, hitting the log ladder ride, and basically keeping right up with us? You should be very happy with your riding!
