Riding "The Gap" for the very first time. Five us total hit this gnarly Jeep trail through the Santa Catalina mountains. Beautiful views, riding up to about 5200 feet, and even a nice mountain stream. My fear of heights didn't get to me too much but I was very aware of the elevation. Sadly, I did have a really off day and rode like crap from the get go. Plus, my leg thing kicked in again and that made things even harder. I think I'm going to go to the doc to find out what is wrong with it. It's happening way more frequently and I don't want to have to stop riding harder stuff. Even with all that, I still had a great day and hopefully can do it again soon.
This part includes one of my favorite sections as there are lots of flowy turns and the big sand wash.

Well, this night didn't go as planned for many reasons. Ted kept getting lost, had to deal with a flat tire, dust was really bad, and to top it off, I crashed the hardest I have since breaking my neck/back. Even with all that, and I'm still healing up, I still enjoyed the ride!

I learned that staying close to the rider in front of me made the dust less of an issue.

First time back on the big 38 mile loop since summer started. Temps are now dropping and I can start getting in race shape again.

After processing this video eight different ways in 60fps without success I broke down and converted it to 30fps to get rid of the glitching. Ugh. Anyway, here is Part 2 of the super mega fun ride.
