:eek: I'm going to post up a similar ride and steal your thundah!:whistling:
Joking! ;)

I'm absolutely in!:thumbsup:
If we get inspirational and decide to climb to the pass, there is a ton of singletrack climbing. But if we cruise it all should fare well. The return is exhilarating! :geek:
 
I was just up there about half way, had to get up there and move a Mccloud lower down the trail to work on a big section that was not restored the way I would like to see it. After the mine road the tail is primo, I and a few others have cut it back nice up past the fist switchback and beyond.
There are a couple of guys who are regularly trimming and keeping it clear of which I am thankful for, but nobody is digging it. That being said, I'm just saying you should be a skilled rider to venture up their and ride it up and down. It is pretty loose and narrow up there even with the recent melt off. Walk it if you have to? I have let the bottom of the trail go and have only worked a 1\2 mile section, I can't do it all? Wish I could join you but I have to work a commercial job that can only be done on a weekend. Have fun!

@hill^billy I would love to come help anytime you are doing trail work. I think this is an amazing trail and I agree it needs some work. I just have never gone out there. I guess because in my mind I don't ride it enough. I live in Palmdale so please let me know. We all need to do our part to keep trails like this alive
 
It did.
