Wasatch Crest TR - 6/26/07
We had a great ride, especially me. Once the downhill came around, I felt great, very much in control of the bike.
We had 12 of us, and we all had a great time. There were a couple of flats on the way, but there was no rush, so we all just chilled.
PS, REDFOX forgot his helmet.

Excellent choice of rides fellas!
From start to finish, I had a great ride. Puke hill as a challenge, but I'm 1 for 1 so I have a good record! That's quite a workout for sure.
The downhill portion of the trail was excellent. I really dug the root droppers and little ledges. I could do that trail every week (if I didn't live so far away).
Except for the flat front tire within 300 yards of the end, it was an epic run.

Those gloves were better than welding gloves. fortycal was nice enough to let me use his coyote killing gloves. I had to have something on my hands in the event that I became separated from my bike.

If I had forgot my helmet I probably would have still rode too! Not sure I would have been as crazy on the spine though.

From the looks of the pictures and the comments it looks like I missed one awesome ride. Guess that will teach me to beat my bike up.

Sweet ride. I believe i'm the only one that had any bike or body carnage, conveniently i had both. A destroyed front brake line and a couple sore spots are the result of a little tumble. The ride was still totally worth it though.
Some days all you can do is smile and wait for some kind soul to come pull your ass out of the bind you've gotten yourself into

I took a few photos. Here's the gang at the top of Puke Hill:

Nice "teaser" video - good footage of the Spine - the slow-mo was the perfect choice to show what was really going on.
REDFOX's speed and huck were awesome. Although it may not look that menacing in the video, that 2 foot gap REDFOX hucked would easily swallow a whole tire. In other words, if you don't jump it, you eat it big time.
But I was equally impressed with fourtycal's runs, especially the one along the peak of The Spine. Yea, there was one dab, but it still rocked.
