Well after the marrathon ride the day before why not ride more :) Another "shuttle run" called Just Outstanding (which is also the name of a amber ale at the local brewery at which we found out about the ride) We shuttled our selves this time up to 6,200 feet we climbed a little to almost 7,000 feet before heading down. and down we went! the dust was insane! but the trail was sick none the less!

Crazy tight tree cover, ripping turns, steep descents. Just Outstanding! We passed thru this one section of short trees that crossed and covered the trail like swords in a bad middle ages movie.... was sick!

We then had an option of fire road descent or climb to descend more.... us being stupid (mainly me) said lets climb :) we climbed up ~800 feet on a fire road climb till we got to another deceision head down on fire road or head up a little more and ride tons of rolling single track.... single track it was! steep downs, followed by steep ups!

I was feeling much better and cleared alot of the tech steep climbs :) The moto ruts made things a bit loose and tough in sections but all in all it was sick.

We ended on a fire road ripper to a paved road and then had a short climb up to get back to the cars.
