Thanks to my mom, I was able to get a free pass to rip today. Left the house around 2 or so and decided to head out the SSST to see how the CR does in the tight, skinny stuff. I approve! thumb

I came in off of Johnson Ranch to attempt to hook up with the canyon climb. I shoulda stayed right. It put me high and north of the canyon. No worries...I figured it out.

Got a good 21-22 miles in before I had to boogie due to the approaching storm.

Pics!

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Good pics, great commentary, and congratulations on the fastest CR I have ever seen. Apparently, I have had my WR around 180 or so before. But, no pics, so it never happened. Single-trackin' the Powell Buttes, OR 84165
