Good to ride with so many mags, let's do it again soon!
Looks cool... The last picture is Solitude?

This section dropping into Mill Creek had such awesome Indian Paintbrushes in the sunset light I had to stop and snap a pic. Lisa with her ever-present shit-eating grin:

This was funny. At one point there were 3 riders coming down the spine - Steve L. rider's right, then motionboy, then skiguide. I grabbed my camera, quick :D
Motionboy got hung up first.

Nice pics! It must really suck to live in Utah! ;)
Skiingbear post up you pickety pics... Yeah Utah sucks, it is no fun at all. There is no riding or skiing. ohhh I got demoted to can't remember status by Altachic. Really i just like to have something to complain about.
Sorry man, I really tried to remember, but didn't want to put the wrong name. Good meeting you as well.Quote:

Another of Steve. Lovin' the lighting...now if only I could keep the camera level...

And finally a little panaramic stoke. The haze in the air was just right to get that layered effect from the mountains. Kellie summed it up best...

beauty pixs on the spine - that red is so rich and deep.
Nice pics all. I especially like the ones of the flowy singletrack. Kind of makes me missing bike (though the gym is awesome).
you guys suck for making me jealous.
bah!
nice pics....looks like a great crew.
For us non utards, what are the stats on that ride? Vert, length, terrain type?
Here's the information from my Polar:
9.6 miles
1060 ft vertical
The initial climb is brutal (hence it's called Puke Hill), and then there are 2 or 3 smaller climbs before you descend.

Thats a pretty neat tool Matt, but I think your altimeter might be off. The Crest tops out at about 9900'.
Yeah, I never did learn how to calibrate that thing...Quote:
