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.

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

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

where do work??? our sundays rides are awesome \:D/




yess I love those gnats too! The best part is when they land on your sunglasses so you cant see where you going.
 
sweet ride

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...

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.
 
I've been dying to get back up there but ll the PO talk has me too scared to try.

How bad did it seem on this ride?
