Memorial Day Weekend
For Memorial Day, we went camping up north of McCall at a place called Loon Lake. Great trails and a ways off the beaten path…
Saturday, we road up the ridge to the lake with some beginners and they struggled a little and walked a little, but they made it and we had our snack at the lake.
Another family was up there and and it turns out the Dad was Ken (from a local shop Ken’s Bike Warehouse) his family had good bikes and he had an awesome bike… If you want to buy me a present send over the Specialized Enduro SLR :).
We also some some kitty prints in the sand by the lake.
Good ride going down… back at camp and purely by coincidence we met up with several other people I know from work who were also camping up there that weekend and were planning on riding a different trail up to the lake on Sunday.
So Sunday, came and it was rainy and nasty, but we went out riding anyway… the route up was the non-beginner route (steep, rocky, with cliffs dropping down to a swift river) great fun. We went up to the lake, ate a snack, then came down the ridge but detoured out another trail towards Ruby Meadows. This trail got a little treachous, extended sections were under water with lots of mud, which was all good and fun until we got to the marsh and decided to turn around.
We made it back to camp a bit dirtier for the ride, but it was fun.
It would seem the computer I had on my bike didn’t like the water too much, it died. So I bought a better computer that tracks altitude so I can share more fun stats on my blog.
