AF Canyon - July 2013

[accadacca]

We (myself, Garbanzo and maChete) had an awesome ride. It felt great being back on my Husaberg. However I only felt somewhat fast for about half the ride...just not in riding shape yet. We hit more rocks then I was hoping for but it's all good. My hands were smoked and my thumb throbbing. My arms were also very sore. It was only my second ride back since May when I broke my thumb.

Here is my SPOT link where you can see some pins. There is a new trail we found that looks fun. See the area where all the pins are stacked up? The farthest pins to the north. Maybe moab mark knows where that goes? Or someone else.. I'll have to stare at a map. I believe it's the 157 going north up a steep hillside. Maybe it ends up near Snowbird, Alta or maybe Brighton? Mark and Chet blazed up it for a little ways.

Headed up the steep rocky section. We saw some equipment up there jacking up the trail. WTF?!?!

Once it got dark I rode with 2 NiteRider 650 Luman mountainbike lights, one clipped to my bars and the other mounted on top of my helmet. Its the first time I've actually had the chance to try them out on an actual motorcycle ride (used them splunkin before) and they work GREAT! I was truly impressed as I didn't expect them to do as well as they did.
:nod:

I just used fourtycal's brand new wr head lights from behind.
And I was doing great till some sob in front of me with his led tails blinded me every time he hit the rear break going down hill.LMAO

It's funny how smooth rides just seem to blend into one big ride but?
THe times that are ruff and tuff hold such a memory through time.
