Amazing.
That is all I can say about that ride.
Wish I had been there!

Arrrgh! So close to home, yet so far away.

Long live long rides.

We do the two truck shuttle.

Two vehicles from Carson. Park the first wherever you plan to end up…pile into the second and drive up to the Meadows.

That looks like good times! I haven’t been up there on those trails since I was a kid. I personally hate loops of any kind so I would love to continue to spooner and perhaps go back via kings canyon (which would add quite of miles) or get back somehow from spooner. Have someone shuttle perhaps…

Then No wonder they labeled it a Death March. Some icy cold IPA’s waiting in the car at the finish and that last 9 miles would have been much easier!

You would have been lacking the wonderful scenery we had at Sand Harbor but at least a cold beverage for Post Ride.

Who organized that trip?

I didn’t have a beer that day! Isn’t that weird? I drank tons of water when I got home and couldn’t seem to get enough. The wine I had with dinner was almost like battery acid. Too hot for wine in the summer sometimes. I did have a beer (my last one) later in the weekend…I must not have seen it Friday in my delirium!

jeff, i read your post twice and didn’t come across the word “beer” once…

a weekend of many epics it sounds like. i joined a group that rode the TRT/flume from Kingsbury to Franktown on sunday. probably missed lester and co. by 30-45 minutes.

Three friends and I did the same ride Sunday although we took Tunnel Creek down to Sand Harbor for cold beers on the Beach.

Jeff, Thanks for the advice to Not climb Marlette Peak from the Sunflower Hills side…

The Flume was like L.A. Traffic on Sunday at noon…ugh

The next trip is Meadows, Red House and Hobart to Lakeview.
