Life...Behind Bars

Chantry is great even during the rain. Just don't go on the weekends...too many people!

 

I am not sure that I agree with you. The granite tech sections along the route there are like slick ice when they are wet. That place tried to kill me when it was wet, but I won that battle.

 

Life...behind bars....can be....romantic, too....



You can see Strawberry peak in the background of this shot.

 

I saw Strawberry up close and personal.

 

I know. My mentioning Strawberry was aimed at you and your ride through there today.

 

Slippery when wet

 

Climbing Chumash this morning.

 

^ Wow, looks like Chumash is grooved out a bit now.

 

On the "easy" section of the Ride for Rwanda...

 

That groove will save your asp on the way down, I know it has saved mine. Right above it is pretty smooth and fast, then a left turn and wham! this bed rock pitch. This one has a big rock crossing the trail under his front tire, it throws you to the uphill side on the rock face, that baby is full of skid marks and component gouges. It is the correct line but it takes some big chingaderes to commit to it and ride it as the right side has a continuation of the groove. If you pop down too soon your angle will pitch you across and on to the outside shoulder.
Happy downhill magic Chumash trails.

 

San Gabes!

 

Looking into the bowels of an uprooted oak tree.

 

Life behind the Kern River on a new set of Box Bars(warrantied).

 

Life...behind bars in the dark to beat the heat...

 

A different POV from my ride tonight.

 

At the La Tuna towers bidding adiós to señor sol and watching the planes leaving Burbank airport

 

I am pretty sure that we have crossed paths, probably even chatted on that "other" site. We are fairly local to eachther so lets meet up for a ride or three sometime soon.

 

I think it is time for a good ol North chapter meet up.

 

Here! Here! But for the next several days, I will be rolling out AZ style...

 

There's a single track there somewhere. New millennium trail in Calabasas

 

Its a good life...

 

Life from different angles, behind bars...in Arizona

 

A couple "Behind Bars" shots from last weekend's Keyesville Classic

 

...with extra cheese...

 

Powder Canyon..the mustard plants need a trim

 

GMR aka MTT, canopy section above the second lookout

 

^ Cool! I love that place. How's the water flowage down in the creek bed?

 

Today on Sam Merrill trail aka Middle Merrill its just like my peanut butter, extra chunky

 

^ Isn't it Middle Merril that a cyclist fell off of last Summer?

 

Water is still flowing, its a totally new trail now. Its rideable though now, it wasnt a few weeks ago!
