Moonrocks Socially Irresponsible Ride

[2strokeYardSale]

2Stroke's thread about his ill-advised ride

I got your ill-advised right here:

2strokeYardSale scared shitless at the top of a waterfall, with anytwowilldo an acceptable (?) social distance behind

thedub taking an ill-advised line up wet rock, in an obstacle that is extremely difficult when dry

thedub accepts his fate after another attempt

2strokeYardSale attempts the not-wet-rock line, against the advice of thedub

anytwowilldo coming down a rocky hill, with 2strokeYardSale a socially acceptable (?) distance behind

anytwowilldo coming down a small waterfall

2strokeYardSale about to go up some technical, but not scary, stuff

FWIW, each bike is about 7' long tire to tire. You do the math. The thread title comes from somebody saying he was staying home and being socially responsible instead of riding. The riders were all really bummed we couldn't gather for dinner.

Is that behind warm spring tower?

Riding is the sticks in Nevada could be endorsed as any screw ups might not actually tax the public health system. Ya fuck up, ya die.

How’s it go? “Yeah, but did you die?” I saw that somewhere.

You are correct, the day 2 video and pics are mostly around there. I think one of the pics is day 1 at the base of Dogskin.

Thought those rocks look familiar, went through there with sxs couple months ago. Turns in to sandy switchbacks at bottom.
Is sandy hill open? Don't remember if it is april 1st or may 1st.

Are there go-arounds for some of these steep sections?

Yes, his name is Wiles, he will ride your bike down for you but the price is endless needling about your "Walk of Shame."

Few obstacles have alternate paths other than turning around and taking a different trail.

You mean Sandhill or Sand Hill near Fallon? I don't know when the temporary BLM closure ends.

Sandhill I guess, the one behind Freds.

Sandhill I guess, the one behind Freds.

Oh, OK, now I know what you are talking about. The area that is signed closed during some time of the year as deer habitat. I think it's closed during winter months?

 

[TWF]

Yes it is closed in winter, just don't know if it opens April or May.
Thought you may know

This info was hard to find. Best I could do:

Stipulation: Timing Limitation (TL) -No surface activity within crucial winter habitat from
November 15 through March 15.
