some LPNF Vids

[loco4x4]

I had a great day, didn't launch off at all like the first time I took that loop a few weeks ago. Had a couple of close calls and a few slow speed dump it overs, but all in all, a lot of fun riding Now I'll have to figure out if my video recordings are worth a crap to post!

One of these days I'll be joining you guys. Just had too much to do. I did manage to get a ride in over Frazier. My ride spanned Saturday and Sunday. Started just before sunset and ended just after midnight.

No photos though. It's hard to get anything more than black. That makes it hard to have much of a ride report. One thing is for sure. There is no worrying about on coming riders at night. For some reason we didn't see anyone on the trails. Wait that is not quite true. There were two guys on top of the mountain who were doing amateur radio. What they call a "field day." It's sort of a contest of who can talk to the most others and the top of that mountain is a good place for them. There was a lot of wildlife. I always see more at night. A bunch of big jackrabbits. They like running down the trail. I saw two foxes in the trail as well.

I had several lighting issues. I ended up taping a LED flashlight to my helmet in cast the lights went out (again). That worked as prevention and I didn't have any cases of unscheduled darkness.

A night ride would be pretty cool.

Those radio guys had a 'line of site' dish setup and was hitting another dish 500 miles away.

Glad you all had a great day of riding and No head ons!yippy!

That area looks pretty low in altitude. Do they close it down in winter?

Higher than you might think. It's 8000 at the top. Most of the trails are above 4500 and the average must be at least 6000. It's closed from the first good snow until April or so. It didn't open until May this year if I remember correctly.

 

[onelugnut]

Wow I was thinking 3500-4500 Thats what I get for thinking

Edison stagin area in Hngry Valley is 4086
