Christmas Eve Ride 2009

Back at V.F. for some exploring. Great day for a ride. John, Chris and Phil. Looks like we found a Sasquatch also, you can tell by the big hands and classic Big Foot walking style...

Ridin' in Yelm

John and I did a little exploring in Yelm. It was a wet, soggy day, with a thick coating of leaves. Good Turkey Day ride.

Triple Crown

Brian and I rode the Triple Crown last weekend. It was long it was hard and we kicked it's a$$! 62 miles, and 12,000 ft of climbing. I had to use a stick for a front shifter, we took some pretty long breaks to make sure we were eating enough, it was a good day. We saw a lot of trail.

Tiger

We rode at Tiger Mountain last night. Brian and I rode up the trail. The whole place keeps getting rockier and rockier. I took a few pics with my new pocket cam (Lumix DMC-LX3). And a video of Matty on a log ride

Banner Birthdays

Matt and Patrick had birthdays, we had our new guy Henry out, and lot's of time was spent on the log rides. I had the Access out after a long break in trying to figure out where the creak was.

Skookum

We had a nice trip down Skookum, and stopped a number of times for pictures.

Bear Tracks

This is at the great view corner halfway down Suntop. We found bear tracks down the trail.

Suntop and Skookum

These are from Skookum by the river and the top of Suntop. I was ready to puke at the top, that rarely happens to me.

Crystal Lake

After riding the Suntop/Skookum loop, Brian and I made a brisk hike up to Crystal Lake to mark off another hike in his 50 Hikes of Washington book. We ran down, then waded in the ice cold stream at the trail head. The end to a pretty hard day on the quads.

Waterfall on Skookum

Sweet! More to come.
