HOLY JIM to THE PEAK/TOWERS pix (not 56k friendly)

Can't say I wasnt surprised to see this on the way back to the trailhead.

OCRIDER made a new friend at the top of Holy Jim.


We were about to head on up and discovered OCRIDER had a flat.


About 1/2 way up to the towers, KIPP breaks his chain, 2nd week in a row, atta boy!


We stopped for a quick breather, looked like a fun area for motorcycles.
Me, FXRob and OCRIDER.

Looking back across the Main Divide, you can see the Elsinore area.


My bike with the Main Divide snaking its way up to the Trabuco trail in the background.


We made it! FXRob checking out the towers.


FXRob chillin' out.


Here I am, it was kinda cool being way up in the clouds.

Looking down you can see the Holy Jim singletrack from the peak.

Kipper gets a flat on the way down.


I almost ran this snake over on the lower Holy Jim creek section.


Cal Epic holding with the snake.


The snake on Cal Epic's seat. It was probably about 2 1/2 feet long.


Those are all the pix from the ride. Once again, great ride, good times!

Holy Jim Is definatley a sweet trail inwhich I will plan on doing again. I bet going down holy jim was a blast and going up to those towers looked sweet. I'm lucky I didn't get a flat or ran over a snake!

Last time I was up there on the Tracer the weather at the base was nice, then it got like this near the top...



Whoever mentioned motorcycles ... it's fun for that too!





















Dino - call me next time you're headed up ... I've got to ride the Surly up there (yep ... I'm a 29" addict now...)

Nice photos!! I've been thinking about a motorcycle (not a dirt bike though), although that wont be a possibilty anytime soon.
