All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Just wrapped up the most $$$ ride of Wasatch Crest in my time here in Utah. @ginseng27 tagged along plus another buddy, then picked up a stranger that rode with us. He was from Canada and ended up being a great riding partner as well. Damn fine way to spend my 29th Bday!

 

I just wrapped up the crest too! Drinking an ice cold beer as I type this!

 

What shuttle were you on? I think I remember seeing your bike. I was on the 9am

 

That would have been the right timeframe. My wife drove me and a buddy up, leaving our house around 9am. He was on a silver Knolly. Here's my photo at the top of Puke Hill. The shadows look about the same as yours.

 

My green hardtail was sorta noticeable but our canadian hitchhiker's maple syrup accent and barney purple norco were the big giveaways.

 

No riding today, but hiked some cool trails in Prescott National Forest today

 

Happy birthday?

 

No question about it. It was a happy birthday

 

Such a fun ride going up there. Very pretty too.

Huh. We totally probably rode by each other without realizing it. whoops.

yeah everyone. It's the OP's birthday! Happy birthday @Gunshot-6A ! but yeah, the ride was awesome per the usual. Some of the previously blown out corners were rebuilt and fixed so it was fun to ride through.

 

It's always awesome to get up high, but the lack of moisture is seriously alarming!

It's August riding conditions on early June.

 

Yeah. The usual snowpack for June is gone.

 

Haha well TW didn’t say it was actually your birthday so I was wondering if yesterday was actually the day.

glad you had a good one! I hit the big 3-0 next month…

 

Thanks, I have three Thule 821mounts (low riders) bolted to the lid, 2 inch bolts, large washers to reduce flex, nyloc lock nuts inside the lid to keep bolts tight and a bead of silicon around the base of the bracket keeps it all watertight.The UWS lid is actually an inch thick.

Important installation tip, check for clearance.


The mounts also act as an anchor for my cargo net when I'm not hauling the bikes

 

Climbing up Pinhoti 1 on the way to Pinhoti 2. North Georgia.

 

saw that. sad. hopefully that fire gets contained quick. I looked it up, human caused...campfire not doused.

 

Goddam it. Hate that kind of shit. Camp responsibly dammit.

 

Got in a quick lap at Horsetooth Mountain this evening. Was hot, but totally worth it.

 

yeah. This year's gonna be bad. severe drought. low water in the reservoirs. loads more people out and about than before. There's quite a few fires listed as active already.

 

Much as I love a campfire this isn’t the year for it, at least not in this neck of the woods. Not sure of the cause but watched a chopper dipping from Stafford lake while we were golfing at Indian Valley and not 5 miles from where we had ridden Big Rock trail 2 days before. A few retardant drops by twin props as well had it snuffed pretty quickly thank goodness.
