Hi if you have time can we make this ride a little longer if there is a way  any way ill be there  OV.

[Dan Cole]

OV
Yeah If my day looks open we can almost double to the ride if we want by continuing towards 5 deer and take another ST back to the Jumps Trail.
I'll have to wait and see though.

Hey I'm in. I'll go longer with ov up to the short cut drop in to Rowher Ridge Trail. It adds about 45 minsto an hour or so. I have to open the doors at work at 10 so it would work perfect for me.

[scottay]

just do 5deer instead, much better ST.

[Dan Cole]

The last time I did 5 Deer... Rowher Ridge sounds like a better option.
5 Deer after the last rain, I am certain it is worse than it was the last time we rode.

Rowhere Ridge with the exception of the drop in was in good shape.

[scottay]

You're high, 5 deer rocks, fireroad sucks!

[Dan Cole]

I am not arguing with you on 5 Deer.
It is a sweet trail, and Going down Fire Road does Suck.

The Last time we did 5 Deer, it was in pretty bad shape, all rutted and no real flow.  If it has gotten better Lemmeno.

The deal on Sierra Pelona Fire Road is getting a longer climb in and taking an off shoot ST back down to the JT.  I think that's what OV's looking for, a longer climb!!!

[scottay]

yes, 5 deer has gotten better....so there.

I think he said longer RIDE

[Dan Cole]

Is everybody good with doing 5 Deer instead?

I get the feeling Scottay wants to do 5 Deer (or maybe someone did something to/in his wheaties this AM)

[scottay]

Not taking my beeeutiul Nomad on that rocky trail......

[Dan Cole]

Never Mind...Lets Just do Bokay JT and Rowher

[KT]

Hmmm.... Seems UR all confused...
last time I did 5 Deer I spent more time ducking and diving branches than enjoying the rocks and bumps.  

You bought a long travel bike and don't want rocks....?  

The Rowher cutoff puts you into the trail after the steep rocky section.  Sierra Pelona is half the drive of Five Deer, more ride less drive.  Five Deer is a great trail but you still do the majority of the ride on fire road since the trail drops you out halfway up the climb.  And all this really means I would rather do Sierra Pelona simply because it will let me make it back to work on time.  

The official ride is?.......   Oh boy yippeee you just posted.... Peace to all!

[scottay]

It wont look good hanging on the wall if its all scratched up.

[Dan Cole]

Yeah...Good thing the Mirror fell.
Now You Have the Perfect Place To Hang Your Glossy Nomad

[KT]

Did Scott make it back ok?  Extra bonus miles?

[scottay]

Here's the lame excuse he gave me: >>guess i shoulda went where i said i was gonna go!
 
i kept climbing, didnt wanna be a wuss and not finish the ride. didnt wanna climb the ST.   figured i could see the ST right below and see when you guys came down, then i could turn back  down the fireroad.    Well i never saw the drop-in to the ST but did see a huge climb ahead, so i finally turned back.  i think i missed you when the FR went to the other side of the hill, kinda overlooked the lake.   I found a rocky chute down to the ST and saw some tiretracks, so rode the ST till i hiked back up to the FR on the jeep trail drop-in.  Waited at JT entrance just in case, then the MX guys at the bottom said they saw you guys at the cars.
 
the JT was in great shape, good dirt, no skidding the 8" rear.   may hafta do it again on friday!<<
