SICVIC 0 Posted June 16, 2011 I'll start off with thanking Josh #1 and #2, Crusty and Jack for coming out to join me for this ride. The end stats are as follows. 5 smoked people, 80 miles completed, 9 hour trail time and a 9 mph avg. Honorable mentions... 1 wrecked radiator, 1 burnt clutch, several water outages and one massive beating from the sun! All in all it was a perfect ride. Great support, total positive attitude throughout and in the end; no injuries to report. Priceless. For those of you who showed interest but couldn't attend this ride; I hope to catch you on another "epic" down the road. One last thanks again to the amazing riders named above for making this such a memorable ride. Your skill, commitment and attitude made this ride everything I had hoped it would be. Thanks guys! SicVic is out.... (for now) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great Peeps,thank's everyone who rode (SicVic,Josh#1 Josh#2 &Jack) No time for pics, we were having too much fun riding but you can see our ride here.

jbw 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Here are the pictures I took. On the mobile now so will add commentary later. Klxguy making it up the first (most challenging) rock step up on 3a this one is almost immediate as you enter from the lower campground and has very little run up. Sicvic on the first part of the rocky hillclimb on 3a Klxguy preparing for the upper part of the rocky hillclimb on 3a. To be met with a burnt out clutch soon after. Sicvic completing the rocky hillclimb section of 3a in style. Looking down on a hard part of 3a. Clearing the manzinita... Left as a temporary singletrack.

dirt dame 561 Posted June 16, 2011 Cool pix. Looks like somebody needs to pony up and get themselves a new rear tire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SICVIC 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Wow.... after seeing the photographs I think I'd be much more effective if I actually keep my feet somewhere NEAR the foot pegs!! ???? Lol Thanks for posting and taking those Josh. Where are all the ones of me sweating like a pig anyways??? Good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SICVIC 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Cool pix. Looks like somebody needs to pony up and get themselves a new rear tire. I think he was showing off by keeping this one on there, not to mention he rode with enough gas to keep us all supplied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbw 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Oh no... More of a warning. I required more than my fair share of help on 7 and one spot on 3a partly due to the tire, partly due to heavy drz and mainly due to my conditioning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xr650lnoob 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Nice. Thanks for sharing. What trail is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted June 16, 2011 I'm happy to read the report, and hear all is ok... I knew it was a big undertaking, but didnt kmow it was THAT big! NINE HOURS!! I hope ya'll brought some chow! YEAH- 3a is pretty bad near the bottom, so if 7 is worse, I'm glad I stayed at work... Glad you guys made it back safely, with bikes mostly intact Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted June 16, 2011 so... hard to tell from the spot link... which trails were covered and which (if any) were left off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klxguy 0 Posted June 16, 2011 so... hard to tell from the spot link... which trails were covered and which (if any) were left off? I think we did pretty much everything at least once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbw 0 Posted June 16, 2011 I think it only samples at 10 minute intervals... it is undersampling for our quick pace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SICVIC 0 Posted June 16, 2011 so... hard to tell from the spot link... which trails were covered and which (if any) were left off? All that were listed; we covered. Plus several trips back to bobcat meadows for supplies. We also did two smaller trails just because they connected in somehow. Basically we ended with an extra 5 miles. 3A was a dream compared to 7 this time. Things shift one day to the next making each a nightmare on any given day I guess. I managed to push that tree off the line on 3A so now anyone who wants to do "speed runs" up it will not have any slowing issues. LOL!!!! Glad we didn't need to have you call in the "bird" for us. Speaking of birds... We did have several Vultures watching us toward the end. Think they had their eye on Crusty! See ya on the next ride! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crusty Posted June 16, 2011 7 kicked my but. My little 2 stroke motto bike just couldn't pull me up it. So I had to drag it up. Kick starting on 7 also sucked. I think this will work a little better on the whole ride! I think this will workbett. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jbw 0 Posted June 17, 2011 Going to give 7 another go on the new bike? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crusty Posted June 17, 2011 Crusty, did that ride make you go out and by a 450X? (quote) Kinda, my wife wanted to get one for me for fathers day and I kept telling her I didn't need one. I went to work this morning a little sore, so I finished my first job and stopped by my house. when I got home I was stoked to see my wifes car, she had taken the day off work. Later in the day she asked me if I wanted to go pick up a 450X. I was so weak today I couldn't say NO Crusty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crusty Posted June 17, 2011 Going to give 7 another go on the new bike? I don't know. It would be a little easier But I probably wont, I loved every trail but 7 and 3A. I am not really into the hills you have to bull dog your bike up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
