[powhunter]

Met up with Greg around 3...Crossed over from our parking area to the 69 trail. Beautiful day out there!!! Greg was killing pretty much every obstacle and pretty much just waiting for me. Leaves are starting to come down pretty good and so where the acorns!! Tons of em!! Hope that means a killer winter!! Finished up around 6...I estimate we did about 15-20 miles!! Nice riding with ya Greg :beer:

Awesome ride this afternoon Steve-O! We did a short loop down into sessions - B Street > Truck Trail. Then cruised over to Scoville and hit the 69er and back via Hinman. It actually turned out to be about 7.7 miles. It took us 3 hours but that was more to do with some extended chat breaks, not necessarily slow riding. In fact, Steve was pretty much right there the whole ride at a solid upper moderate+ pace. Enjoyed chatting about the upcoming ski season.

Trails were decent. Pretty much wet everywhere still, but the ground drained in most spots, but definitely some mud in usual spots. Nothing extended though, usually only 10 foot stretches except for the north end of Hinman which was muddy, but not unrideable.

I felt like I rode pretty good today. Rode Red's Rock cleanly without stopping, as well as the roller option after it despite the shinyess to the wet mossy rock. Rode a solid 60% of the low skinny log on the 69er (skipped the elevated one due to wetness). Made the tough rock up on the 69er heading north despite the wetness. I also cleared from route 69 all the way over the stone wall cleanly heading south on the north end of Hinman. Also wheelie dropped the 2 footer after the ladder bridge on the north end of Hinman, something I've been skipping all year.

Anyway, awesome to ride with Grandpa Pow this season finally. He really was killing it and riding better than I've ever seen him. Chilling on the cigs is paying off big time! Rock on Steve-O. Sorry about the pinch flat delay.

Anyway, fall riding is here! Sweet! And we're gonna get plastered with snow this winter. There are tons of acorns down everywhere!

Trashed towards the end. We bushwhacked a bit and eventually found Jon's trail out which is actually pretty much rideable now.

I've had a couple of interesting bushwhacks out to Jon's trail with him. It's a mess in there. I was hoping you'd say it was cleared a bit now.

Sounds like you guys had a great rip. Good to hear the trails came through the rain in decent shape.
