t.i.t.s. ride 3 sisters!

Thursday night ride: The Crew ready to roll! The dirty dozen! (photo credit Jj)




Lubes basking in the sun on the dedisse trail. Man 35 min. away and lived 5 miles up the road for years and first time really riding here. I've been missing out on these trails!




Lubes in a Zen moment!
too bad the views sucked too!
We climbed up to the top of evergreen mtn. happy to unload my pack! I think i hauled 5 pbr's up that was a bit of a load but made some folks happy. after taking in views time for some downhill! after regrouping at the bottom guess andy had some 29 26 tube issues whatever that meant ha! Met up with the other group that had a missing chain doh!
Headed to the sister trail and some good rocky rooty climbing up and some scenic walking next to my bike on some of em! Then grunted out and cleaned the last techy swithback to the top. We rest and get to the good stuff. I picked my way down and was delighted to clean the whole descent without a dab! BIg grin was had on that one!! Quick reactions and no hesitation was the key. Light getting obsolete and time to click on the lights for the final descent and the nbit of a grunt climb up dedisse to the truck. We were spread out on the descent and it was very surreal to be weaving through the forest on tight twisty singletrack with bright lights bringing everything to life in a small space in front of you. That is what is most fun about riding at night is seeing just what is in front of you. knowing there is so much more around. Looking forward to next week and a full moon ride maybe bc? or back up here may be good as well. mmm prob bc though! But first sat. ride Dave's Uber Death March!!
