Saturday ride update:
Chris ,Dave & I think Mike , had to split early Sat.
Cadence and me had pulled in at 2am , hillariously see Layman still up , watchin' the fire. We said g'nite to Chris and then we slept in our truck . We got up at 6am to sound of rain on windshield.
Thankfully it stopped after few min .
6:30am unloaded , cordials, then we headed out& crawled on that mnt from 8:30 am , at frantic pace ...
we raced the weather.
I don't think we could cram more trail riding into such small window of time.
It helped that we were all really into it. So did the GMSR radios. Can't say the same for that awful trail map, tho.
Although we only got between 4-5 hrs of riding in , it was one of the better times I've had in some time.
It was brief , hardline, fun and different, all at same time; there was only four of us of which for two
( Drew in a kick ass Dakota crawler w/ a crazy flex LA setup. & Ryan in his open '17 JKUS I think ...he flogged her open open over stuff he shouldn't have made it over) this was these guys 1st GATR ride ? I know I met
@hosalabad in that sweet Blazer at AOP a few yrs back .
@longarmwj @ILOVEDIRT , welcome to GATR.
Well, they fit-in here ,100%.
, we all hit:
Copperhead
Rock Garden
Turnherover [sic],
Destabilizer
Gulches
some other or two & wanted more . All before 12:30pm
Then it started to get colder.
The air smelled like rain & we were on that scary *ss mountain tht we all wanna be near when it's sorta dry....but , I was imagining it wet + tryin to get down & it made me shiver .
I sggsted we split ,as painful as that was & ultimately got home safely. can now enjoy recalling these new friends and such a great morning crawling at Morris Mountain ORV w/ them, my daughter + GATR.
here's an album of all images KK & I took:
