HacksawPete 7 Posted September 18, 2017 My son and I went for a day of riding at Kennedy Meadows. We camped at Troy Meadow which was really nice and I'd like to go back to that camp. Our first loop of the day was really fun. Lots of fun and easy single tracks with some challenging stuff on 34E01 and 34E07 (rattlesnake trail). After lunch my son picked the ride and we probably should have done his choice first. The interesting part of the ride started at Stoney Meadow where we ran into some USFS riders with chainsaws. I didn't even know you could get a chainsaw attachment for your WR450! Look closely at the back of their bikes and you can see the blade down by the swingarm. They told us the trail below has not been cleared and we should expect downed trees. We were advised it should take us about 30 minutes to get down 33E26 (that drops 3000 feet in 3 or 4 miles). Then 40 more minutes to get out to the road on the Rincon trail 33E23 ... " as long as you don't have any hiccups" . Well, I don't think we had any "hiccups" but it took us longer than they thought it would. I'd like to ride that trail again and make it the first loop, and maybe go up it. Below I put a link to a video clip of part of the way down. The weather was great and the water crossing were easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted September 18, 2017 Rincon Trail is a blast! I rode the entire thing a few years ago. I've been trying to get back for another run ever since. The FS mounts the saws to the back of the bikes but all private citizens I know mount their saws on the front fender. Either way when in the mountains it's a good idea to carry a saw. I keep a small folding hand saw in my backpack just in case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 559 Posted September 18, 2017 Troy Meadows is always a great choice. I love that area, rode it on July 4th weekend and wanted to get back there before winter. Probably won't make it this year though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
