isde97 29 Posted February 1, 2011 Some pics. I am not too competent with a camera, and digging it out of a wet jacket probably wasn't the best treatment. Since this was my first time meeting everyone riding, I am not going to be too good with names. Complicating the issue is the popularity of orange KTMs and dark riding gear- it makes y'all look alike. These are from my first stop coming down from Thomas Mtn. Once we got out of the clouds, this was really fun. The Hippo Hands on the 990 are totally dorky but effective. Dorkiness became more fashionable as the day went on. More to come...

isde97 29 Posted February 1, 2011 Second spot, along Cooper Cienega Truck Trail. I like this road too. kkug, I recognize the jacket in this case. xr650l bum: I don't remember this guy's name, but I think he is a new rider and looking pretty stylish here: Looking forward to the next ride, in better weather. It had only been drizzling a little when we left Warner Springs, and I figured Black Canyon would be almost as fast and much more involving, thus keeping us warmer, or less able to think about our misery. It poured rain up over Mesa Grande, leaving me thinking I wasn't too bright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goofy Footer 539 Posted February 1, 2011 Rolling up to the Mexican diner after Team DR650 (LucidMayhem and TrophyHunter) wisely left for a dry ride home and Drabnor on the CRF and recycled on the DRZ-SM split atop Thomas Mountain, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of Orange club ride did I get myself into. At least I had xr650l bum on my side. Too bad the frozen fingers, rain/sleet and cold were against us all. Usually I'm a picture taker but icy fingers and two pairs of gloves limited me to these pics. Looming weather on the truck trail headed up Either turn your monitor or bend your neck, I don't know why its posting sideways. This gentleman who shall remain nameless and faceless here offered me his extra pair of gloves (which were awesome) and this is how I say thanks. Still don't know why this won't post correctly Two fingers for peace OR two pairs of gloves? DigDug and Bum Thanks KKug for leading and putting on the ride. I definitely want to check out the trail again. Your KTM with the rekluse looks fun, maybe too fun, hence why I chose not to ride (steal) it. I enjoyed riding with everybody. I still don't envy those who rode home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drabnor 0 Posted February 1, 2011 makes me wish I would've went with you guys! we were wet the whole way from where we split off, made for a slow and interesting descent down rouse ridge, there were times when visibility was really low... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XTSTEVE 0 Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks for the great pics. The reason why I am always sideways is due to my riding style!!! See you next ride. XTSTEVE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LucidMayhem 0 Posted February 1, 2011 makes me wish I would've went with you guys!..... Me too, had I been dressed for the occasion. It would have sucked riding back home wet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkug 147 Posted December 4, 2011 This looks cool does anyone have gpx tracks or something made for thomas mountain on Dualsportmaps.com? I think I got the tracks from this ride but am very lame in saving and sending them out. Have not mastered that-- only riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
