Harding to Silverado Write up

[ocrider]

Great ride guys. It was Mtberdude(trung), Intensekipp(Matt)(the guy with the stylish camelpack jk ), Dukethenuke(steve) and I (ocrider101). We rode up Harding. Sorry we kinda left you behind Trung. Down the Motorway. Where we ran into George Tina hiking. Then the highlight of the ride the pavement on Maple Springs. It was super hot and boreing. Then we rode back up to four corners and down Harding. We didn't go the peak casue we were all out of food and water. But it was great training and its going to help us pace ourselves at the Pow Wow cause he can kind of guage ourselves on how felt through out the ride. We made good time expscially with 3 flats. See you next time.

I would like to add another highlight, The dude in the speedo trail-running, heheee. I think he got lost looking for the beach... I had no clue we past you George. Matt said you were yelling for us to stop. You really have to concentrate on the motorway, no room for error.

I kinda figured we'd run into you guys on the Motorway. I dont think Steve or Matt(intense) knew who I was, probably paying attention to the trail. I forgot how loose the Motorway was!

edit: Here are some pictures

Here are some pictures I took on the ride. Sorry George I totally didn't even pay attention to you and your gf, but not only was I really concentrating on the trail but I also had my music on really loud.

1. Kipper after riding the paved road on Maple Springs
2. Matt at the end of Harding Trail
3. Kipper at the end of Harding after his second flat

Sounds like an insane ride! Nice job guys. Is the gate open at Maple Springs to drive up to the peak? I'm thinking of driving my truck up there again next Saturday.
