Great posting! I haven't ridden there for several years, but I can still say that Brian Head is the best lift-assisted XC riding I've ever done, and that a decision to ride from town to the trailhead up top is a great way to get light-headed and bang into the wall of the rock house. Did you guys do Left Fork of Bunker Creek and go down to meet the friendly folk at the general store? |

Here's some more from this ride The weather was kinda scary Incredible views up top though We were in for a shock once we got going - a short steep uphill almost killed us at 11k. Even the flats weren't so easy. But there were still smiles all around Some fun drops up top The start of Dark Hollow Deno flashing gang signs More views at this overlook QS checks out the rock-huck possibilities GP rolls thru after cleaning the drops (just not in these vids) A couple QS lines Can't see it, but Deno gets a flat Leaving the trees into the aspens Now we're in the aspens... Lots of them The skinny... Really skinny. This thing took me out too QS couldn't resist the gapper. Nor could he wait for us to get cameras rolling Sweet rock on the way down 'Tard Goof Gangsta Water crossing Very cool ride, lots of variety, and enough chunk and features to keep anyone happy. |
