I HAVEN'T BEEN RIDING MUCH LATELY DUE TO INJURY AND THEN SICKNESS BUT I AM VERY ANXIOUS TO GET BACK IN THE SADDLE. I CRASHED INTO A TREE SHOULDER FIRST ON WATER TOWERS, THEN WENT TO IDAHO FOR NEW YEARS, AND NOW HAVE A SINUS INFECTION. DANG IT! IT'S RAINING RIGHT NOW SO THE TRAILS SHOULD BE NICE AND TACKY BY THE TIME I FEEL BETTER. I DID SQUEEZE A RIDE IN LAST WEEK ONCE WE GOT BACK FROM IDAHO. I PARKED AT TWIN GATES, DID A QUICK SPIN THROUGH Z'S TRAIL, THEN DOWN SWEETNESS, BACK UP PAST THE STUMP, BACK DOWN MEMBERS, THEN HIKED UP CAMPERS, THEN OUT THE FIRE ROAD TO MY TRUCK. MY NORMAL RIDING BUDDIES WERE ALL WORKING SO I COULDN'T SHUTTLE WHICH MEANT A LOT OF UPHILL BUT I WAS JUST GLAD TO BE ON THE TRAILS. NORMALLY I RIDE OUT MAILBOX BUT I GOT CONFRONTED BY RANGERS 2 TIMES IN ONE WEEK SO I HAVE BEEN AVOIDING IT. IN THE 10 YEARS I HAVE BEEN RIDING THIS TRAIL THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE GOTTEN ANY GRIEF FROM RANGERS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS 2 GUYS ON QUADS AND THEY WERE PRETTY COOL BUT THE SECOND TIME IT WAS THIS PISSED OFF FEMALE RANGER WHO MADE ABOUT 12 OF US HIKE BACK UP THE TRAIL. SHITTY! I GUESS IT'S GONNA RAIN A BUTT LOAD TONIGHT AND TOMORROW SO THE SINGLE TRACK MAY BE MUDDY FOR A WHILE. REGARDLESS, SEE YA OUT THERE. HAVE FUN RIDING.
