Title: MM Fathers Day ride, pics and stories
Post by: tcdawg on June 20, 2015, 04:34:49 PM
Friday afternoon and Saturday morning were killer. Dry MM rocks are soooo fun. Crawled all over the place...then the bottom dropped out. Wet rocks and mud.

Hayden and I bugged out about 1pm. Had a great time but after the sweet dry crawling I just didn't have it in me to fight the mud.

Had a great time. The park really changed in the afternoon on Sat after the rain.

Bad news- I didn't take a single picture on the trail today.

It was good seeing everyone out there, even though a lot took off early. This was the first time to this park for me. It rained for about 20 minutes right after we started wheeling today and I pretty much got denied on every obstacle and hit a tree. One day I will work on my driving style  //:hlp//   My truck was just meant to be a west coast wheeler I guess.

Looks like @jd30005  got one of the last pics with my front end intact. I have some body work in my future.

These pics are after I did some hasty body work in the parking lot.

Where did you hit a tree? RBD is crazy now... Anyone hit the Ugly or Copperhead?

Scott literally wasn't denied once in 7 days of Moab wheeling... Crazy how different the east coast is!

Lots of wheel speed.
only advantage to the east where the ground is softer, the longer the drivetrain and gears last. West coast can jack up 14 bolts and hell on gears.

Scott's tree was on the right-hand "bypass" of RBD; he had to gun it to bump over a rock and it threw him into the tree.

The rain made easy dry runs into hard runs.  I got sideways on Bad and had to take a strap to void a flop.  OTOH a trail like Gator became fun.

We had a good day of wheeling. RBD and punisher was not going to happen. But everything else was fun. Hated to see everybody left so early.
We come back from rock and roll and primos and the parking lot was empty.
The rain was just enough to keep the dust down.  //SLAMIN//

looks like I missed out on some nice wheeling but I did have a great time with the family so it was a win also. hopefully I will get the old clunker fixed for the next ride.

We were able to crawl the middle line, and light throttle on the right side. (Which I expected to be the other way around.). Nice and dry!!

We had a very small group (4), so we didn't get tons of pics or vids.  I was able to catch some pics of Wes through the Gauntlet and Tony may have some video of GBU.

I have no video on GBU.  I told you to wait a second and I would take a video and you didn't wait....I wasn't prepared and you didn't listen.

But, Friday afternoon and Saturday before the rain, the slabs at GBU were crazy sticky.  Crawled all kinds of lines, super fun.

I'm in CA this week, but my son Eric may have taken some video.  I will find out and post anything he has.
