This weekend we had the pleasure of camping way up off the Ortega Highway. Aside from the horrible stench emanating from the bathrooms it was a grand time. We did a great deal of riding on the Main Divide road going up to the peak with the radio/alien invasion towers. We had a couple minor crashes resulting in a total loss of rear blinkers on the XT225 and of course many “close ones”.

While battling the sun at one point I mistakenly took a wrong turn and was forced to climb a swirling hill of rocks and silt. I dug myself into a nice hole but was thankfully rescued.

Pretty

At the top (pretending we'd worked as hard as those who peddled up)

A crash on each side equaling no blinkers

Fun trails!

In need of washing

Ah, you know it’s been good riding when you can’t see your rim.

No Comment.
