Wife had to work last Thursday, and since I had bought 3 of their rental Rocky Mountains, I decided to go down, pick them up, and enjoy the mountain by myself. Left a bit later than I'd like, arriving about 9:30, stopped at Vons to get supplies, and NY Bagel and Deli for snacks, and then to the Adventure Center. Buy ticket, get ready, and up to the top. A gorgeous day. Kamikaze down (I know, big deal, it's only a famous speed trap), which lasted about 10 1/2 minutes (did I use the brakes too much?), back up, down Off the Back and Beach Cruiser, back to McCoy Station, down Brake Through and Skid Marks, shuttle to the main lodge, lunch, switch bikes (first Trek FuelEX, then Banshee Viento), and back to the top. On this trip down the Kamikaze, I stopped by Chair 14 to see if I could find the spot I left a time capsule for Alaina. I did, and spent about 10 minutes just sitting. The view was excellent!!! Continued down, then to the top again, Off the Back, and time to call it a day. It was so well worth the drive. Pick up rental purchases, Vons for lottery tickets, and Giovanni's for take-home pizza. I really hated leaving, but until I win lottery........
To me, one of the best days riding, even if I only hit a fraction of the trails there.........
