Hi All. FNG here, but not new to riding or forums. I frequently ride with Butch and we decided it was time to ride the Rubicon and check that item off the Bucket List. I'm an avid offroader and I've run the Rubicon numerous times in my crawler and always wondered about riding my bike through. Butch, my buddy Jim and I had an epic time riding the Rubicon yesterday.
I did not take as many pictures as I would have liked, but here are few...
At the Loon Lake spillway getting ready for the day. I think Butch's comment was how difficult could this really be...?
Into the trail about 2.0 miles near Ellis Creek and Butch is still thinking it's easy.
Jim catching up at Ellis Creek after fighting is carb issues. He got them straightened out.
We hit the first real rock gardens just past Spider Lake and the Little Sluice Box, then decided to take a break. Butch was mumbling profanities at this point, but nothing too terrible.
We motored down the slabs and into Buck Island Lake where we decided food and hydration were in order.
