Dreamy Draw May 8, 2011 Trail 8 - take 2

So this was supposed to be the big group ride the Outlaws have been unable to organise for a while but unfortunately some of the guys were unable to make it. Nate suggested they all meet at 6:30 to avoid the heat and get done early enough as it was mother's day. Unfortunately that didn't work out too well considering Nate didn't wake up until 6:45 :( Fortunately for him, Jeremy and Gary were patiently waiting for him when he finally rolled up at 7:30.

Jeremy hadn't been riding for about a month so he knew the ride was going to hurt but Nate struggled almost as much for the first part of the ride mainly due to dehydration.

They headed out in the same direction that Dane and Nate did the previous weekend and made their way to Trail 8. After Gary making Jeremy and Nate look like real amateurs cleaning just about all the techy parts on the way up, they all made it to the Obstacle.

Gary decided it would be a good idea to get a flat tire at this point...so after about 10 minutes repairing the tube he began to put the bike together. When filling the tire back up we here a big ppppssssshhhhh sound and all the air comes flowing out of the tube.... Damit! That tube was shot, so he replaced the tube completely.

The 3 of them worked on trying to clear this obstacle with out success :( A few falls later and about 10 trys each they headed back to the parking lot.

Below is the only pic of the day.

Mileage for the ride was 8 miles.

Dreamy Draw April 30, 2011 - Trail 8

After 3 weeks off for "the Britt's" wedding, Nate and Dane headed out for some much needed riding. They made their way up Trail 100 east towards 40th Street. At the trail 100 trail 8 junction they took Trail 8 in search of the Obstacle of the day.

After some rocky climbing gradually up Trail 8 we made it.

In the below video's you will see the attempts of Nate trying to clean this unfortunately it was out of reach for the day although he came really close.

After about 30+ attempts the two of them headed back to the parking lot and enjoyed some nice flowy downhill all the way back.

Total mileage for the ride was about 7 Miles.
