North Ogden Divide

Epic ride! @Garbanzo and Glen introduced a few of us to some amazing stuff! :2thumbs: We started by riding southeast over to Pineview Reservoir. Then we rode back over the top to meet @REDFOX The first loop was 28 miles of fun, technical singletrack.

We then rode north and ended up at Ben Lomond Peak. That was some fun technical switchbacks, even funner getting down. :ride: We turned around just above Willard/Perry because we ran out of time. There is a new tight singletrack over there that is freshly cut. It was fun sliding the switchbacks. The second loop was 35 miles for a total day of 63 miles.

On to the pictures and map. :popcorn:

This ride was really cool! I've ridden it several times and the views still amaze me. Wish you could've made it Fortycal. We had a few out-n-backs, but it was a pretty long ride:fitz:. Gotta try Cherry Creek soon!!:2thumbs:

I have ridden there a few times, here is one from back in 06 http://www.bogley.com/forum/showthre...h-Ogden-Divide
Parked at pineview dam once and rode up to the peak and some spurs. It looks like you rode some stuff I didn't know about.
Maybe we can get together for a ride soon :2thumbs:

Like the pics. You guys didn't run into the Goat man did you? If you want to try a different way you can park at the Wildlife Federation Gun Range in Liberty. Go up the road towards Avon and at Public Grove take an ATV trail to Willard Basin Rd. It's a legit way on the Ogden RD motorized map. (If you want to bother figuring that stupid thing out.) Then you hop on the Skyline single track and can go to Willard and Ben Lomond Peaks. If you're plated this gives you a couple loop options to return from North Ogden Divide or even Pineview.
