It does look good from that angle though. And, that was mean to sit on that bike. . . . in front of your bike. . . . while it was sitting there watching.I rode up to the Harley shop to see if I could ride the new bike. . . .

Looks like a great ride! For me a great ride on a 250 two stroke! A 600 pound bike is a bit much. Great pictures and a great looking area!We were in an area by the COBDR yesterday Went over a ridge and had this view. The road/trail we were on went to the left in this picture and hugged the base of the ridge/cliffs in the bigger bowl all of the way around to the little peak in the far background. The big mtn in the center is Cottonwood Peak. This put us on the far side of the round top mountain/ridge on the right side.

This is my buddy (klr1200) contemplating the next section which is a rocky and loose steep down hill. It was steep enough that my back tire was locked and still gaining speed at times even under no power. We were both hoping we did not have to come back up that way..... So we decided to forge forward down the hill.

This is towards the bottom of the steep section looking back uphill. There was a tree down across the trail. I could hear my buddy cussing loudly behind me as I came to a stop. I couldn't get my kickstand down (steep, wrong position), so I just laid the bike over so we could figure out what to do with the log. There was no going around it. Either move it or turn around. No pictures of the log, but we managed to get it moved off the trail.

These were right after the first downed tree. This is looking back up hill. We were able to go under the one in the background and worked our way around the one on the ground. A full size Jeep would not make it under or around the leaning tree. At this point, the trail is still going down hill and makes a sharp turn and starts heading back uphill.....

And.... we came to this next steep uphill section. It is hard to show how steep and rocky it really was. Per the GPS we still had 3-5 miles to go to the end of the trail. We both walked up the hill to scout it out and it was rocky and loose all the way where we walked. We were both soaking wet with sweat by this point.

After 4 hours of riding, we decide to call it the end of trail and head back the way we came. Thankfully we made it back up the first steep loose section without any major issues. My buddy got tossed off line and headed towards a big root going across the trail with a big cave (his words) below it. He used his former motox skills and hit the gas more and was able to bounce over it. Once we got back on the pavement we headed to Silverthorne for a nice mexican lunch before heading home.
Around the reservoirs. Nice ride.
Hopefully get there myself in September.Around the reservoirs. Nice ride.
