it looked threatening and IAB almost turned around , buit it cleared and Got sunny 80 degrees, Blue skies and 90% humidity

But we had Fun We started in Nam

here is IAB on the New Nemba Trail


Here is Bruce same place


IAB going past the Refridgerator ! ! This is in North Vietnam ( other side of 495 + 85 ) it is a bunch of Chunks of granite piled up right next to one of teh qurries and cold air is always coming out from between the rock. it was about 20 degrees cooler goingthrough there and it felt good!


Boon hopping up a rock on the way over to Peppercorn Hill


Bruce coming off a little rock on the power lines on the way to Upton


When we got to Upton State forest , an interesting warning


Boon coming between some rocks leaving Upton on the way to Lake Whitehall



Boon trying to hop a log across the path on whitehall


I did have a Few navigation errors.


Had one major problem as we were heading back to go up the back side of peppercorn hill , the trail was gone and a new development was in its place . finally found what was left of the trail.


As we were getting to the top of Peppercorn Hill , the highest point on the journey and after 17 Miles

come on Boon you can make it !!


Bruce you can do it too!

You guys have cool rocks. All of ours are much smaller and much sharper. Must have been those glaciers.

:dead:

This was my longest ride to date (25 miles, 5 hours). I'm friggin tired. I was pretty tired at mile 10 and would have been fine to stop there. I need a beer.

Nice pics, Splat! Sorry I didn't take any. Thanks for the tour. That was a really fun ride.

Nice to see you got to ride the new Nemba trail, Phil. The jump line and the berms are a lot of fun. Mike and I rode the big berm 3 times Tuesday night it was so much fun. :thumb:

That new trail is very cool. The NEMBA crew did a great job building it. I didn't try any of the stunts because I didn't have the gonads yesterday.

I need to get back to Vietnam. We didn't really ride 'Nam yesterday, we just sort of rode through it.
