Well the plan today was to do the larger loop that we didn’t do with Phil yesterday. We got an earlier start and Scott came along as our shuttle partner. Princess’ sunburn still made having a pack on too painful so he bailed. The ride started off well, we were all climbing ok, must finally be getting somewhat acclimated to the altitude. About a mile and half into the climb we were waiting for Howie at a little alpine lake. He finally rolls up and turns out he took a little spill off the trail and had a good size goose egg on his shin and his thigh was a bit bruised. We decided the smart thing was for him not to push it so he and I went back down to the truck while Scott and Pooh Bear ended up doing the loop we did yesterday.
They were back by 1:00 and Pooh was still itchin to ride some more so we went over to the dry fork trailhead and basically caught the same loop we did from the Junction Creek trailhead just less climbing to get to the loop and we did it the other way around so it really felt like a different ride. All good fun.
Sorry no pictures from today
