cj54x 51 Posted July 3, 2022 5 of us showed up for today's ride. About 2 hours in I got a rear flat (slow leak) and told everyone to continue on without me, they didn't want to leave but I assured them I had a spare tube and spoons just in case and I would be fine. I was able to get it pumped up half way with my peace of crap pump and that got me to Buckman Springs road. A Jeeper saw me struggling with my pump and asked if I needed help, he filled my tire with his pump and I was on my way at full speed. It was getting low by the time I got to Hwy. 80 so I slowed down to 45, at Sunrise Hwy. it was mostly flat so limped home (4 more miles) at 35. The weather was prefect and I had a good time even with the flat tire. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biker Jones 27 Posted July 3, 2022 Thanks for the summary of your way back. Glad you made it without too much drama. Thanks for getting me out on the trails. It was a stellar day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cj54x 51 Posted July 3, 2022 Brent, you are a way better rider than you give yourself credit for. If you want to progress to harder trails I would love to be there. I know you prefer to ride Sundays, just LMK. You could be riding the most difficult in no time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just have little experience to judge my skills. I'm amazed at how similar it felt to mountain biking. Stay loose on the grips, relax, keep body weight over the center, keep momentum, pick a good line, don't over think it, commit and go for it. 🙂 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those that come from aggressive Mtn bike riding to Adv bike riding usually have a lot easier time ‘getting it’.  Those coming from street Moto’s over to off road have to learn to do quite the opposite of what they been practicing all these years. Cheers!

Biker Jones 27 Posted July 4, 2022 Hey guys do those trails and the others in CC OHV and BV OHV have difficulty ratings at the trail heads? I didn't see any Diamond markers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cj54x 51 Posted July 4, 2022 All of the trails are marked but the fire roads are not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crfxer 87 Posted July 4, 2022 Biker Jones. Stop by the Ranger Station in Alpine for maps. These free ones are outside in a rack.  Get one for the Cleveland National Forest too. That one costs $14 I think. These will show you all the available trails and fire roads in your area. lots of good stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
