Taldor here is the gps data. fyi it is a bit sketchy as my gps kept turning off. Also i bailed out on some of the climbing at took the road cuz I just wasn’t feeling it that day. http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/3324809
Japhyrider, Sean. you guys are stupid strong riders. I felt bad as i was bringing up the rear but you two guys had a great attitude and didn’t rub it in. Thanks for that. I got your number so i’ll call you when i’m going out your way for sure.

This story should be featured in a “Armchair Mountain Biker” book - or at least be published to hard copy for reading on the crapper (perfect length for a leisurely session).

Japhy - did you guys GPS the route? I’d like to see it plotted, or do the plotting myself if you give me the path file or some waypoints.

Great story JR!!!

Going to run the 1st annual Mt. Rose Loop race on August 11. Parameters are: start/finish from downtown Reno, ride around the Mt. Rose Wilderness and back. Route TBD. No entry fee, no prize, no glory, no support. Will post more later.

Apologies to Blair. No one has ever praised me for being a solid stealth with names (”Blaine” corrected to “Blair”). None the less, riding with you, Sean, and Dave was excellent. Way to hang on well into the unknown. Let’s all get out there again!

Ok I have to say after leaving the house at 6:30a and getting home at 9:30p my body was beat to a pulp so felt like logging onto eBay to sell it all then I realized my saddle was still lodged in my ASS! [ed: we don’t censor here!] but I decided to keep it all…What a great experience I’ll never forget even though I need to turn around before I was going to need to start using my Man vs. Wild skills…I just got home from a ride in Auburn and I felt like I was on fire what a difference a couple of days make…Dave, Mark, Blair & Sean Thanks for a day I’m sure I will be sharing it with the grand kids someday “just like most fish stories I might tell them I rode it like a stallion”
