Scott's Ride Blog

Back to the BIG RIDE! wow this is def a stretch for a day trip but its soooo worth it! We got Joe to drive as the 4 mile decent down the dirt road would be much easier! There was rumblings of thunder in the distance but we had great weather! Up the initial climb to the river crossing and up a bit more I was feeling good. The HR monitor was busted so no good effort stats. Then down the small decent and onto the main climb, moving well we crossed the road and then really started to gain elevation and getting into exposure! At one point I put the hammer down and ran it out at 80-90% for a good 10-15mins. Was feeling good, we made our way up then we ripped the lill decent to the camp ground. Downed a PB&Bananna and a cliff bar and back off to do that initial climb before the big decent. My body hates be on this section but once we got to the DH I hit it! And Joe on his new Rig was loving life! We ripped it up for a bit thru the exposure and sick views. Then we got to the river crossing and it was back up a bit..... I was feeling much better this time and the climb didn't hurt that much, then that final decent to the car SOOOO fast! and fun:) I found a way to add a few miles to this ride think next time we do this it will be part of a weekend trip but that won't be for a while as I'm not sure we'll have the time before winter.... But we'll get back there some time! Activity Route: -- Elev. Avg: 5656 ft Location: Angelus Oaks, CA Elev.
