Snodgrass?
Ya, first time S and I have managed to ride it, it's always been closed on previous CB trips. Last attempt was with @Full Trucker the day before his wedding and it was closed. Then we carried on as usual up to 403 and 401. Nice to avoid having to drop down and ride Washington Gulch Rd from the bottom.

I knew I needed to bleed my brakes before the trip, by the bottom of 403 I definitely knew they were due. Never gave out, just let me know they need some attention.

403 is a pretty rowdy ride. We did that loop (sans Snodgrass) from town many moons ago. That was a long day. :D

Absolute perfect conditions tonight, both the weather and trails.

Too bad the drive side BB on my bike seems to have come loose.

Bailed, but sent buddies to go do a loamer.




Now I sit and wait for their return, to enjoy a nice refreshing beverage.

Another short, but awesome ride. Girlfriend came this time. I would have ridden more, but with the heat, combined with not riding much etc etc, she was cooked.

We rode this place two weeks or so ago, but it was a mud fest and actively dumping rain. It was much better today and the rock and roots weren't trying to kill you.

The new trail they put in here is all loam, it's so good. We don't get this very often. I mean look at this dirt... once it got going down, it felt like riding on a carpet, so good.




This place has rox too. Some nice slabs and chunk..
