There’s some snow out there, especially at 7k. You can’t avoid north facing roads entierly.
Sooooo, Matt and Chad rolled in last night. We spent some quality time beer drinking and talking, soaking in a pre-spring evening. Got up early, got after it in the cold morning, had some superlative tacky dirt, and some nice road. Then disaster struck.
Matt slipped on a bit of ice, and broke his right pinkie. Fuck.
Let it be said that he’s a tough mofo, road quite a ways despite before turning around, insisted we continue, went to the ER, drove home. And all with an almost disconcerting optimisim. Mental strength.
Matt, you’re the man.
Chad and I continued on, had a fun ride. Yes, most of the ride was in fact on nice, sunny dirt. We just stopped to photograph the more absurd parts.
Ride was: 305, Walker road, Senator HW (north), Wolf Creek road, 89 (south), Whiskey course. A future addition of Granite Basin will make a nice 8 hour outing.
Photos by Chad.
Another lesson: a 24 hurts. I was beating Chad uphill all day, which really never happens. Dude, rest! My form is encouraging. I cleaned the death hill on 305, the switchback on 305, all of the Whiskey climb. Feels good.
Be careful out there. You’re all good people!
