I missed this or I would have joined you guys. Hope it was fun and safe. Prolly a bit nippy this morning.

It was a fantastic ride. We did roughly 70 miles of trail from around 10-4 on Saturday. Snow was still on the ground at some of the higher elevations.

Unfortunately, my phone went from 85% battery to 8% and I only managed to get three pictures documenting our adventure. Guess it's time to finally upgrade.

A few musings for those interested in going in the future:

o Many of the offshoots from the main trails are now shut down with large signs saying no rock crawlers or off road vehicles. This is where most of the fun hill climbs and more difficult spots are at  :(. We saw one ranger patrolling on 600-2.

o Saturday was an extremely popular day for Jeeps in Cheaha; we saw at least 10-15. They move far slower than their two wheeled brethren but are always happy to let you pass. Still an unpleasant surprise when you're coming around a blind corner though.

o 45 degrees and sunny is optimal dual sport weather.

Better ride reports to come! Hope you're able to join us on the next ride
