RR: El Prieto
I rode El Prieto...that's the report.
NAW, just kidding! My Intense & I ended up joining the 6am crew for a Mt. Lowe shuttle. Afterwards, a friend & I decided to hit up El Prieto. Only recently have I discovered how fun this trail is. The first time I did it (about 4yrs ago), it was after a long, long ride, so I was wiped out, and didn't enjoy it. Now that I realize how fun this trail is, we ended up hitting this trail 3 times today! This trail is highly recommended. Ben, you won't have your typical bad luck on this trail. Cheeser took a few pics. The camera is pretty bad, so only a couple of them came out. Conditions were primo; only a few dusty spots, everything else nice and grippy. Threading the needle  A small drop near the end (really fun at high speed)  If I can wake up early enough, I might have to hit it up again tomorrow. |

 El P is pretty rad. We rode it the other night. Current record (as far as I know) from top to bottom is just a little over 9 minutes... my friend rails it pretty hard. Me? Slower than hell, haha. Probably 15 minutes  |

I know that rock garden in your first pic...it is where I broke the quick release on my Maverick Fork and had to walk out.
