Exploring at the ranch

[Tharkûn]

We started riding out here and there was no cows out, now that cattle get run out here they've carved trails downhills to areas previously believed to be unrideable. Sorry for the crappy pictures the phone won't post the regular size and I can only post one at a time :loco




Where did this come from....

 

[Tharkûn]

This doesn't look too bad, wonder if I can turn around at the bottom.....

 

[Tharkûn]

Hmmmmm, shits about to get real. Let me look back at Jason and laugh about what's about to befall us. Oh shit he didn't see me come down here, and I can't turn around. Oh well

View from the first of three 90* corners at a 45* slope

 

[Tharkûn]

Whew, made it to the bottom

 

[Tharkûn]

Epic single track

 

[Tharkûn]

More epic never before seen by man single track

 

[Tharkûn]

Made it to the end, time to turn around....

 

[Tharkûn]

Trials anyone?

 

[Tharkûn]

Time for business, view from the bottom. Just a 90 left 90 right 90 left and we're out

 

[Tharkûn]

First corner down this isn't so bad

 

[Tharkûn]

Oh shit

Took Jason about 10 minutes of bulldogging to get from there to here. He was the sole survivor, myself and another had to escape through the neighbors property and take a short jaunt down the road to get back

A new hillclimb. Kind of a B+, the A line is closer to the post with bigger kickers at the bottom that prevent any momentum. Pictures don't do it justice, blah blah, 3 foot rock face up there at the top

 

[Tharkûn]

Circle track had epic traction. Time to add some logs to make it more interesting

 

[Tharkûn]

That's all for now!

Looks like a great time. It's amazing how pictures can tame a really steep hill. Everybody that wasn't there is like WTF, it's not bad!:laughing great little write up.:thumbup

Where is this and when do we get to ride it?

 

[Tharkûn]

I gave you open invitation already! (On the clause that I can ride your 350xcf)

45 mins from Hayward



This is actually easier than it looks

 

[Tharkûn]

This is much harder than it looks thanks to the third gear kicker halfway up while threading trees
