Nirvana Again . . .

Found lots of new single track today (area #23 where the pipeline runs). Jeff and John discovered new track to the South of the pipeline that goes over a ridgeline and back a couple of times for approximately 2.5 to 3 miles. Two of the miles are very challenging technical pieces with lots of big roots (3’- 6”) to jump / lift over and sizeable “adult-headed” rocks peppering short steep hills and descents around sharp corners. We ended up down near the Landing Strip, crossed the pipeline track and . . . found newly placed steep single track. That led us to a new single track hill we coined “Primal Scream.” (One of us screamed as we were only able to ride it ¾ of the way up before flat-lining each time out of 3 attempts.) An hour later we ended up at Stedman Road and did some back-tracking in order to hit the pipeline for a quicker way back.

Upon return home: Jeff’s wife had already BBQ’d their dinner and it was sitting on the table. (Yes, we were late!) And, John’s wife . . . “we’re almost ready for dinner, was IT THAT MUCH FUN?” John only smiled (“yep, it sure was – Nirvana again”).
