Default RR: Blackstar

Today was Blackstar to Sierra Peak for some,only to beeks for me.Myself Eric Foltz,pat,Jeff( mtb4fun) and one other guy (forgot his name) headed up the climb. I was hurting, in the last 4 days Ive logged in 126 miles, my legs were spent. So I sat Back and took some picks. Had lunch at beeks and waited for the others to come back From Sierra. I decided to head down early and flatted and they caught me on the way back down.Im taking a day off the bike.

Thank you for remembering the camera, we only have another month before it gets downright unpleasant in the hills. Best thing tough is it's legal to ride here with lights, I smell full moon madness.....

Default New Canyon on Blackstar



Is this that same hole in the road that started small and just keeps getting bigger? How far across is it now?

I do believe so. It is only 1 1/2 to 2 ft wide.

Rideable portion that is.
