Day 2 Afternoon

11/27/2014

Comments

 
After a nice extended break, we are ready to depart lunch early. With only a few more alts ahead of us, the afternoon has a more relaxed pace. We stop for some happy snaps at the overlook. Certainly, the reason for the designator of 7 Mountains..







The last level 3 alt sure did have a lot to throw at us. First, it has a gate which is suppose to be designed to be open large enough for a snowmobile to enter in the winter. During the summer it has these deployable wings to only allow a motorcycle (not ATV) through. Except, the wide-assed BMWs needed to have the entire gates opened

But maybe we should have used that as an omen. The trail quickly becomes a single track, and perched on the side of a hill. Never fear, if you miss your line you'll be cradled by an 8 ft tall wire fence which appears to be used to keep Jurassic Park's velociraptor contained. The trail is quite sporting with one blind descent and a quite steep up hill. The last 1/2 miles is covered in nicely spread finely rock grinds which ride as well as a bike in quick sand. With that we end the day with a quick cool down lap and back to camp.
