Thursday 6.11.09 Perry Canyon

[devo_stevo]

Anyone that wants to come and ride the Perry Canyon trail, we'll go on Thursday at 5:30. Meet at the trailhead at the end of the road on 3000 South in Perry.

This is all assuming that the weather is good which is looking iffy at best right now for Thursday.

Sorry I don't have a picture of topless women to post or anything like that now so I'll just give you this instead. :blahblah: :hail2thechief: :naughty: :frustrated: :eek2: :nono: :ne_nau: :nod: :cool2: :roflol: :haha: :2thumbs: :bootyshake: :lol8: :popcorn: :five: :twisted: :roll: :mrgreen: :rockon: :feelgood: :afro: :angryfire: :argue: :bath: :blxsuspicious: :bs: :bud: :chairshot: :cheers: :compthrow: :crazycobasa: :crazy: :deal: :doorpeak: :gap: eclipsee_steering :fakelaugh: :fart: :friday: :ghost: :idea: :kicknuts: :comppunch: :lame: :toofunny: :guitar: :numchucks: pissed: :repost: :rifle: :scared: :sleeping: :slobber: :smilehah: :flag: :stupid: :targetpractice: :thumb: :wallbash: :wavey: :wedgie: :whoops: :gloom: :2gun: :2guns: :banana: :bandit: :boxing: :clap: :cold: :cripple: :fishing: :roll_lol: :mwink: :patch: :eek7: :eek1: :ear: :cry1: :hitit: :assault: :jump_nutt: :wave: :ride: :help: :D :defend: :mad: :lol: :cool: :shock: :? :eek: :sad: :smile: :razz: :oops: :cry: :wink: :evil: :puke: :ahhh: :dropmouth: :pitcher: :slobber1: :gulp: :bueller: :hydro: :lol2: :doh: :headbang: :drums: :rockit: :maestro: :stud: :user: :boozer: :kbasa: :ban: :eatme: :hurryup: :flush: :duel: :bash: :bore: :fitz: :blbl: :getiton: :eat: :drink: :asshat: :toker: :bandit2: :ahh: :Ahnuld: :moses: :kickit: :ymca: :party: :rope: :hair: :lol-lol: :mrt: :hahaha: :lobby: :snowcloud: :puke8: :snowguy: :crackit: :spankme: :flamer: :vader: :soapbox: :hippy: :phew: :dizzy: :spam: :whistling: :hsugh: :fluff: :deadhorse: :treehugger: :gents: :amazon: :annie: :becca: :bert: :fart2: :flipa: :nono2: :nomystery: :giveit: :knary: :killen: :kboom: :a: :bird: :peepwall: :pope: :smoking: :spruceup: :topes: :tunes: :yousuck: :santa:

[accadacca]

Very nice post. :lol8: Have to think about it...

[blueeyes]

If nothing comes up I'm in.

[neilether]

There may be a couple of us from Logan as well that join this ride.

The "current" end of the Grizzly Peak Trail at 6.2 miles and 3300' climb :phew:

On the White Rock Trail.

Then there is the video in the White Rock Post. That is a fun ride. Barring any face plants.

I'd like to do this ride but I doubt that I can swing it. I'm still in need of a bit more healing. The ribs/chest still has the shooting stabby knife pain thing going on if and when I move right. A sneeze will still drop me to my knees. I do feel much better today though.

I hope some of you come up to check out these trails that Stan is building. They are quite challenging and interesting and they could use a bit more use.

Here it is in mapquest so you can get driving directions straight from your house if you want.

To answer Treehugger's question, Perry is just south of Brigham City about halfway between Ogden and Logan.

Rode a trail right next to this one yesterday and it was in stellar shape. The trails up there can handle a lot of water without getting muddy to the point of damaging them. They just get moist and tacky, not slimey and slippery. Unless it is raining on Thursday when we go, it should be good to go.

On that note, lets see how much rain we get wed and then go from there? I would like to ride this trail!

So it's Wednesday and it's raining HARD here right now. There is also a 60% chance of rain tomorrow (up from 40% yesterday). I'm thinking we put this one off for a week or so. Whadday'all say about that?

[blueeyes]

That would make me happy. :nod:

[chromehead58]

i tried to ride yesterday on the lower bonneville trail in otown...it was to wet, waiting a week is a good call...just make a post when the trail is dry enough to ride..

[devo_stevo]

WILL DO. I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

[neilether]

just make a post when the trail is dry enough to ride..

Agreed!

[live2ride]

yeah it may be dry by august with all of this rain.....

[devo_stevo]

Maybe.

At least it helps melt the snow up there on the top so that we can make it up the Willard Peak road by the 4th of July for the annual 6+ hour sufferfest that is the summer holiday ride. :2thumbs:

[globy]

haha, this is the most funny post I saw so far. :lol8: :gap: :mrgreen: :naughty:
Didn't know you could actually write an article using emotions....hahha

Is this place far from SLC?

[Last Child]

45 minutes from slc with good traffic.

the only good traffic you are going to find is in the middle of the night that traffic in NSL will eat up twenty minutes some days.

Well if you are planning an early morning ride on saturday or sunday you should have open lanes all the way there. I am a fast driver though. If you plan on obeying all posted speed limits add 10 minutes. :mrgreen:

Thursday afternoon though?

Yeah I am game for thursday afternoon. Doesnt look like the weather is in our favor still, lets keep our fingers crossed.

[devo_stevo]

It's nice today. I'm going to hit this one tomorrow morning around 7:30 and see how it is. If anyone is interested let me know and we can meet up and go for a ride. It should be in pretty good shape by tomorrow morning.
