Dress4Less 162 Posted January 11, 2016 Had the good fortune to tag along with Crawdaddy aka: Crawdaddy and The Oracle aka: LB for an epic day in the Dez. The weather and soil conditions could not have been better! In fact, one of the riders in the group was quoted as saying, "I think these are the BEST conditions I have ever ridden in out here!" Now, that is saying sumpin... Crawdad and LB at the top of Heart Attack Hill The eye of the beast LB attacking the downhill Taking a break in Fish Creek We ran across something very interesting in Sandstone Canyon...what the heck is it?

darylhunter 1 Posted January 12, 2016 I've planted a couple times on HA Hill when using what seemed like not that much front brake. The decomposed granite marbles on top of the hard rock underneath are really slippy. I've watch a number of people fall on their butts just walking down too.

eastcountyktm 0 Posted January 13, 2016 Looks like an awesome time in the desert. What saddle bags are you guys using? I want to get ones big enough for tubes and tools but not too big to get in the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bp619 104 Posted January 13, 2016 I use wolfman day trippers which as model says are perfect for everything you described for a day trip.
