Awesome ride on Monday

Post by MtnBlue »

Did 80km's in the South Ghost to Blackrock area on Monday evening. 60km's of single track. It's getting quite dry in some areas, but Blackrock still has some snow. Had to turn around on some single track up near Blackrock, due to the snow and the oncoming darkness. All in all a great day for ride :dblthumb:

Sounds awesome MtnBlue,

We were on a trail back there on Wednesday night sounds close to where you were. We kept going past the sand area and it turns into overgrown tight single track. It was a gnarly, rocky side hill up up and up. After the trail turned straight up there was a few drifts and a 100m later it wasn't passable on bike with rubber tires. That was the first time that I was up there that far. It would be a shame for that to be closed next year.

Did you park at the South Ghost staging area? Did you ride the truck trail west to access the area? Is that where the extra 20km comes from?
