On saturday, Wade, Tom my Dad and I rode the Mormon flats trail from
Jeremy ranch to big mountain. Wade and I tried this in the spring and a
beaver damn and washed out trail were our reward. Not this time! The
trail had actually been repair quite well and we had a pretty enjoyable
ride. we started around 240 and got to the top about 410 and back down
by 440 including about 10 minutes of wades pinch flat repair. Besides
wades tube, there was another casualty of the ride. Dad was about 2.5
miles in crossing a riverbed rock garden when his wheel refused him
forward travel, so his body instead obliged physics and continued his
forward journey in spite of his bike. He landed on a large smooth river
boulders with his elbow and right thigh. No busted bones...on this ride
anyway. (if you want to see a broken clavicle happen, check out "break
clav poppy above") When i say on this ride...i don't mean to say no
injuries occurred. Dustin learned that a premonition about riding is
both a) excellently true b) applicable to all rides in a day. He had
bad jibes of injury hanging looming in his mind about this ride, which I
respect, so he went and did another ride later after the jibes
dispelled....and tore is AC...in three places. We all morn the loss of
dustin for the next 6 weeks on the trail. AND hope that his body armor
gets in.
