Is that near Timmy's bridge?

Continuing with the hardtail at rest theme, here is my humble offering. This is the turnaround point of one my local snomo trail rides. The route is muddy, eroded, features huge puddles and is currently mosquito infested. For a few moments, I was tempted to take to pavement loop back home. But I resisted, and did it all over in the opposite direction. Rule # 5, buckaroos:

"... Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to your body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards." – Edward Abbey

Oh hey I just took one of those too:
Decided to go up to the wilderness boundary, and thought about hiking the rest of the way up to stuart peak but rain was coming. It's a pretty fun ride that not as many people do because it is far and a big climb. Town from near the top:
Minus a few trees the trail was clear all the way up there, and then snow just on the other side of the line:

Marshalled the BC Bikerace today then went off to do some trailwork. 600 people from all over the world came to ride North Van trails that were, relatively speaking, on the easier side and suitable for racing. It was a blast.
Decorated my corner - what I call lawndart corner
BCBR bike patrol as neutral roaming support
God I would have endo'ed on that rocky section... I post on TGR!

Lawndart corner... haha... love it
BCBR looks like an awesome event but I can't see what is causing all those guys to eat it! From the few BC trails I've ridden drops less that 3' don't count as an obstacle.
My hardtail at rest for the night while bike packing this last weekend in the San Gabriel mountains north of LA:

Utah County has some great riding, been spending a good amount of time down there this year. I had a nice 5 hour ride today and only saw one other person
Looking at the start of a rugged 8 mile downhill
About 6 feet of snow and lots of big trees across the trail in this slide path. Avalanches are scary
Random shot I found on my camera from last summer
Yup. I kinda feel like its my civic duty to ride those trails more. They were all dry yet soft and squishy, which was nice...cuz it meant they don't get a lot of traffic, but it was a long feeling 14 miles. Didn't see any other riders (or even tire tracks) on over 1/2 the route, only some people unloading shuttles for Bennie Creek.
I feel the same away about Mike's shot. I feel like I should know that ridgeline.
Kitty!
I offered him some whiskey. He was less than interested.

Now thats some singletrack! Bars in the grass.
Little fun turning 41 last Friday. Birthday present from the wifey was a full day of riding with no time limits. With 3 kids, that hardly ever happens these days. Traffic was beyond crappy heading up the hill but there was hardly anyone riding. Great day.
