Single-trackin' the Powell Buttes, OR

Thanks to my mom, I was able to get a free pass to rip today. Left the house around 2 or so and decided to head out the SSST to see how the CR does in the tight, skinny stuff. I approve! thumb

I came in off of Johnson Ranch to attempt to hook up with the canyon climb. I shoulda stayed right. It put me high and north of the canyon. No worries...I figured it out.

Got a good 21-22 miles in before I had to boogie due to the approaching storm.

Pics!

Pics from staging...

Shots from the ride...

On final for RWY28, KRDM...

A GPS shot before I sneaked in an extra 3 miles. I told ya this bike was fast (check top speed).

Back at it!

Storm's a brewin'!

Can you find the trail?

Rides...

Moist...

Rode some familiar stuff and some strange too. Fun times!!!

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Good pics, great commentary, and congratulations on the fastest CR I have ever seen. Apparently, I have had my WR around 180 or so before. But, no pics, so it never happened.

Sand is not my favorite, but that sure does look like fun there!
