after all these years of getting up before dawn to ride SoCal summer....in case y'all didn't know many off road folks here garage their machines for the summer here....yes they do until "desert season", meaning oct.
Anyway my crew always rides 365. point of article/post latly we are doing afterwork/afternoon rides in a zone that is more mountainous so we get shadows and cool plus its @ 4k-5k ft so its cooler. Never really exploited the long days too often and when we did it was at another high dez spot that was still smoldering hot.
Report well just epic from last eve got on the single track @ 5PM BTW thundershowers blasted the place 1 hour before......so needless to say the temps and trail conditions were as good as it gets around here, we had a 6 man conga line--made possible by close to zero dust. The trail boss is a solid 50A guy on a WR450 with infinite trail knowledge of the zone, P2 is our newest crew member former NETRA 40A#2 KTM350EXC, Me, PhactoryPhil on the exWelshman 300XC,Jacob(PNW/Ore)350EXC and the hero of the ride (Brit) Sam the Trials guy riding his XR650L through the gnar with trials like precision......
Pre-ride he was a little concerned and mentioned if he held us up he had his gps to track back, and WR450 Steve and I had an aside, because I talked Sam into coming along and even I was a little concerned with his fully DS OEM stock 650L, but I did tell Steve that Ive ridden with Sam on his trials bike us on bike bikes and he super well skilled----
LESSON Trials bike skills and what's possible on bike are over the top with trials training (he did fine) I think we have seen that with all the top extreme enduro guys these days.
As usual our crew are mostly SoCal "immigrants"! from other states and countries, the accent differences are off the chaaaats (NETRAFred). WRSteve led us on an everything ride, grass track meadow tire wide looping 180 corners, arm scraping tight stuff,rocky nutty stuff, quad wide water break every 100 yard uphill trail that we rode silly fast and got more air due to following Mr WR and Mr NETRA than usual for me and due to impending darkness we even took the dirt road back for a few miles of really silly fast moist dirt road riding and sliding, so far that was loosest Ive ridden the 300 yet, on the pipe drifting with Steve and Fred just on the gas Baja Mil style....
Man crush wed.. like so many of you all my crew means a lot to me- good dudes all, some fotos were taken I will see if we can get em posted up.
