Who's Riding Where???

It takes a little while. All that rustling is little lizards, birds, squirrels, and rabbits. At first it stands the hair on the back of your neck. Coyotes do not make noise, plus you chase them if the come out of hiding. Mtn Lions do not use trails so they are a giant crashing. So are deer but they do not spook by mtn.bikes at night. Mtn lions don't spook either, they are hungry. Bobcats, nobody cares about bobcats

 

I will be riding at night tomorrow. Unless I get out before 4;15, I can ride for 90 minutes without lights if I get out then. Out n back; Space - Top of the world - Angels rest.

 

With the high heat(for January).....and the wind on Saturday....

Thinking it's gonna be a post midnight launch for a deathmarch tomorrow night.

 

I can get to the top of Middle Merrill in under 2 hours... That trail is like crack. I want more.

 

What kind of Death March

 

What’s your plan?

 

I know they see me more often than I see them, but finishing a ride with a sore throat is frustrating. Only three skunks, some night hawks, a few lagos, and toads on my last ride, but three bear and one mountain lion sighting since July makes me consider going to Bonelli Regional Park instead of Marshall Canyon this time around.

 

I’m in for Cheseboro/Dead Cow/Suicide action if it’s after midnight. It would be a fun change of scenery to ride under the stars.

 

Nothing special...just something local I can roll from the house.

 

That’s how I’ve been rolling, but I’ve been taking too many risks solo with the wildlife encounters.

 

This time of year Cheese Cyn can get VERY cold. But right now it will be nice. Wooo whooo. Ride it in the heat wave. You are alone out there after dark. Good times.

 

I don’t want to be alone at night out there. I can be alone at night over here. It’s fun but also scary due to bears and mountain lions. I’ve been spooked.

 

I'm strangely intrigued by a potential San Gabes night ride with @DangerDirtyD .

 

Do it.

 

MLK rides??

 

Its cold this morning, currently 36, but eventually I’ll ride out my driveway and head over to Granite Basin two miles away for some chunky fun.

 

Work day for me...

 

Yup....

 

UPS Drivers are required to drive on all four at all times... Sheesh!

 

If only.

 

Just back up real fast and slam on the brakes and most of it will unload itself...

 

I think I would fire my loader... Just sayin...

 

If only.

 

Probably not Oceanside??

 

Not!.I ended up going to an area a little further away from the house (6 miles ) and rode an area named Pioneer Park. It's not the most challenging place but it is easy to ride on singletrack 98% of the time which is crazy considering this area is smack dab in the middle of Prescott and also has baseball fields, pickleball courts and everything else you can imagine yet I saw a total of FIVE hikers out there and ZERO other riders.

 

Do the locals pronounce Prescott as "Presh-kit"?

 

No "h" in there...."Pres-kitt" is the standard pronunciation

 

Oh yes, that's right.

 

@mtbMike how is that ripmo treating you?

 

Tom, I ended up selling my Ripmo and going back to a 27.5 , an Ibis HD5 which I absolutely love. Then later in 2020, I sold my Intense Primer frame & fork and swapped all the other components over to a new Ripley frame...which is what you see in the photo and what I ride most of the time in Prescott.
