I took off Thurs, Fri, and Sat from riding. Thurs the cyst was cut open which is right under my hydration pack. Fri I was not feeling well, sore throat and less than normal but high temp for me. Sat I felt the same.
Sat Ate Bfast w/ Danny then went over to Fat Tire Dave. He had a copy of the closure notice. The areas lost to bikes are Bike Path & Sketch area plus Schuerman, Only Ridge and Hurkenham system trails. Still much dissension as it discriminates against bikers on basis of scientific study ( which doesn’t exist). Notice was signed on 3/13. The FS did not work w/ bike club advocates who were seeking solutions to cancel outright to adopting all exiting trails then work to correct deficiencies. It is in effect until 2015, an automatic extension of 1 year order.
So today the weather was beautiful and I needed to find out if I could ride w/ the wound on my back. Sunday is El Presidente from Johnny’s garage. Today it was a gathering of old time Mtn Bike Heaven riders. And the ride was just like those former rides. Your are never really lost but you can’t always get to where you want to go. We rode horse trails, washes, and desert. Nothing illegal about what we rode. 14 miles which included maybe 4 miles of pavement getting to and from the dirt.
Stinky Doug is still around.
