Today I rode the cow paths in Horseshoe creek basin west of Driggs, ID. I learned that the premise for the trails was just recognizing cow paths into a trail system. More to it than that but there is shared use on miles of the trails. I can’t authenticate the quote but it goes something like this: If you can’t take a hot juicy one in the mouth then you are not a mountain biker. The trail traveled thru open sage into aspen thickets into deep doug fir forest. In the deep tree cover the fresh brown splatters were a challenge to see and to avoid. Just lots of cow shit because the trails are in range land. My tires look impregnated w/ dried green. A splatter made my white saddle.
Spent 7 mins anoerobic. Breathing still a limiter.
Drove back into Driggs for a laundromat, shower, liquor, & groceries. Clean clothes, clean body, gonna get juiced.
The view East into the west side of the Tetons, with the Grand standing above. I saw the view from the valley floor that gave the name to the peaks. Just a raged ridge and that’s it, no depth. One stop light in Driggs @ ski hill road and the road i am out off of.
Have a big ride laid out for tomorrow. Need to manage my time to make Curly lake by dinner some 5 hour drive.
Gimme Driggs over Jackson and all it’s beautiful people any day.
Did you get juiced? Too bad about the cow #*#*! I’ve also ridden in that, not fun. Troy at the shop comes over here and rides the Galena Grinder, Say hi to him for us. Should have ridden in Jackson you old bastard!!
Rode plenty of cow paths. Just make sure you breath through your nose.
