Burnin’ Turkey
Burnin’ Turkey -
So how about the weather, eh? We took full advantage yesterday. After some climbing, midway down a 2k’ descent we hit the rim of the gorge. The drop in is quite exciting. Ride #1 complete, it was time for a quickie egg burrito followed up with a not so traveled route with Mr. TopoFusion. This locked gate is supposed to keep the motors out of the desert preserve, but rather seems to keep them in once they gain entry. The holiday weekend has been redneck madness, complete with crash’m up derbies in Green Valley and shooting across the Zen trail on Saturday. We were all riding 26ers today, believe it or not… Wait - where is this fence from? The namesake of Scott and Hollywood’s favorite trail! Scott giggles like a kid when on small wheels. Is there more of this in his future? Best line of the day from Scott after realizing his pack was open while riding: ”can I borrow a powerbar? I promise not to put it in my blog!” Only a few bored individuals will get this one… “Utah hill goes up thataway…there’s a great loop around Square Top and Jackson peak that goes through Motoqua over there…and Candyland, OMG!” Ya gotta appreciate a keen sense of place, a desire to grasp the landscape. We even have water in the desert. Late day shot, we rode most of the available daylight hours.
