The Dark Knight Build

how was the trip?

 

I get off work at 2:45, back to bed.

It was great! Having a condo at a 3 day music festival is the best thing ever even though we pretty much didn't sleep Friday night or Saturday night.

 

that's prime having a condo hook up for the festival...and lack of sleep just shows the amount of good times that were had..good to hear

 

Exactly! There was no shortage of good times.

I will go back next year if I can.

 

some buddies of mine went up to pickle gulch to camp for the weekend and said that they made it almost to the top til they hit snow around 9750ft i guess...but sounds like it should be doable one of these upcoming weekends if you're down to hit the area back up

 

yep! that would be great. I'm off this friday and next monday. Would like to get out somewhere.

 

damn you working weekends!

 

yeah.. I dont know whats up with that crap, weird schedule this week. I'm going to check out the snow progress on the Tiger Run trails out of the back of Breck after work today. May go back to Cascade creek friday or monday we'll see how the weather goes.

 

what are these tiger run trails you speak of? i haven't done much wheeling in summit county yet, but definitely want to this summer

 

I was just looking on Trail Damage but will be much easier to find in my guide book at home. I'm pretty sure it is the Georgia Pass trail and there is one more. The trails from Tiger Road cut through to 285 like Boreas pass does. All easy i believe with fantastic scenery just at hiigh elevation so they will be late to open.

 

pffffft... this SN, Mexicutioner, looking at the tread right now made me laugh.

 

Still snowy as hell. I dont think things will be passable at 9600+ for another month.


Water is getting


Was fun to play in though.

Wooo boy! Looking about the same this way.

 

Took care of the uni-ball squeak with a handy $8 4oz tube of Teflon bike grease. So glad my suspension is quite again

 

The stuff is magic! Its just a band-aid until I can buy a new one. Front wheel bearings first!

 

so there's a path now from spring creek to saxon? looks like you did a decent job plowing the road

 

Well not exactly. There is a clear path all the way to where you can enter Spring Creek from Cascade Creek. 200 yards after the spring creek entrance there was 4ft+ drifts every 10 feet on the way to Saxon, we turned around here. All the snow we ran into was on the trail going back down. I didnt even see what trail it was on the map, gets kind of confusing after turning around a exploring in all sorts of directions.

 

Got hit again today. Some dumb ass at the Breckenridge Golf Club parking lot pulled the ultimate douche canoe move, "hit and run". ARB faired well, a couple deep scrapes and scratches along with breaking the black plastic fog/turn signal housing. Cant say the same for what I imagine the other persons damage was. Backed into me so hard I had pieces of tail light behind the scoop!

If anyone sees a silver vehicle with a busted rear quarter/tail light, ask that dick a couple questions....

This would have been very costly if not for the ARB bumper. You can see the pieces of tail light on the bumper, ground and one piece on the scoop.

 

Lucky!! Good thing you had that bumper to protect the truck, otherwise you might have been left with a couple grand in damage to a stock front end.
