Headed up to Wilson again, another awesome ride. Perfect weather; sunny with clear skies at around 80 degrees. Yet again we neglected to stop and take pictures at some of the more photogenic spots that litter the mountain so Nargaredama and I took some quick pics while Ciaran patched a tube. I've made a point to carry a patch kit and spare tube since Ciaran is making a habit of flatting
About 10 minutes later he flatted again but opted to just use my spare tube this time so he'd be good for the ride down El Prieto. Chalk it up to 2 tubes and a patch now that you owe me. Get Baldy rockin' and all will be forgiven
However the bungle of the day goes to me accidentally ditching them on the way to El Prieto. I rode the entire fireroad up (except for 30 feet in the middle, take that marlopez!!) and forgot to tell them to stay right at the fork. I waited 15 minutes before I called to find out that they were already back at the car due to the wrong turn. Sorry guys, now we have an excuse to go back again soon (like we needed one).
Ignore the 4 inch "drop" we took pictures at. Like I said, we were waiting for Ciaran to fix his flat and it was the only thing to ride in the immediate area.
Ciaran patches (note the RM jersey, a nice touch):
so I rock the massive 4 inches (the picture was snapped premature so you can't see the tailwhip I pulled):
but Nargaredama kills it with 4 inches down and 2 feet out. I think that makes it an 8 foot gap (2 x 4 = 8 right?):
