paulmbowers 236 Posted September 7, 2008 thanks for the ride Paul. sorry about your helmet Meh. If I didn't want it to hit the ground, I shouldn't have left it on top of a post. Great ride, fun to be on the roads. Kitchen Creek and the other single-lane blacktop roads Pine Creek? lots of fun. fn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted September 8, 2008 oh yeah; I forgot some sections El Huecos, Thing Valley, Kitchen Creek... we did about 160 miles and home in time for lunch... I think my tires are scrubbed in now... banner is too much fun... anybody know why the gate is closed at banner/chariot (or whichever of the three canyons that is) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think my tires are scrubbed in now... banner is too much fun... anybody know why the gate is closed at banner/chariot (or whichever of the three canyons that is) The gate to Chariot Canyon road off the Banner grade has always been closed, but never locked. Are you saying that the gate was locked? I always ride up to it, park, open it, ride through, park and close it, then I am on my merry way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't say I actually checked it...Paul? we were busy laughing at the sign "closed gate ahead" it was actually ON the gate! just as well... it was f'ot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted September 8, 2008 just as well... it was f'ot And if you think it was hot at that end of the road, it would have been much hotter at the other end and not much shade to speak of anywhere in between. When the weather cools off again, I'll be ready for another little spin down that road (and Rodriguez Canyon road). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted September 8, 2008 Hmmm. Check the lock. Funny idea chix have sometimes. Ha! Check the lock. I'm like, suure. Slut you checked the lock, right? Hot was Carveacre, and the around-the-gate experience. Hot. fn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted September 8, 2008 And for your information for future rides in the area of Chariot Canyon, you also will find a closed but not locked gate up on Rodriguez Canyon road. Just make sure that you close the gates when you go through and the locals will be happy enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
