The ride/route we did a few weeks ago was a hit and a couple others who didn't go wanted to try it so we did it again today. The route was down 5 Oaks, up Cholla, down Stairsteps, across Laguna Canyon into LCWP and up Willow, down Laguna Ridge, back up Stairsteps, down Lynx and out. We had a group of 6 of us, Dino (Bret), Ladd Jasper (Dell), CalEpic (Craig), Intensekipp (Matt), banannaseat (Aldo), and myself. This time around the temps were much more pleasant and so was the ride.....we had no flats or other mechanical issues, but a few crashes caught on film. Another great ride guys!
Aldo was kind of enough to head down Steps first with my camera to take pics of all of us coming down (thanks bro). He'll be in some of these action pics soon but his shoulder is still healing up from a crash. Here are the pics:
Me leading the pack down Steps:
Craig on Steps:
Dino negotiating Steps:
Dell coming down Steps:
Matt at the first steep drop (it was his first time on the trail....next time will be easier Matt 
A little further down Steps Dell starts to do a drop:
Dell after the drop, ooops.
Dell wipes himself off and tries again, this time with more success!
Now here we are at the rock roll/huck area on Laguna Ridge, Craig stepped up to the plate first and did the huck cleanly but the runout got him a little dirty
Although he did do it again with perfect results the 2nd time.
I told Craig if he did then I would, so I sucked it up and went for it. Me on the take off:
Me about to land (a little nose heavy on my 1st attempt, 2nd time got it a little more cleanly).
Then of course after I did I told Bret he had to do it and cleaned it perfectly:
Then afterwards a few of us hit Wahoo's for more T&A action. We think we found Steven Jackson's new prototype downhill rig in the parking lot and Bret busted out a pose on it (hope you don't mind Steven). Check out those dope ass wheels 8)
