We had a great ride today. It was Big G, Satch, 3 of their friends, and CommanderJJones and crew. We headed up T2, right onto T16, right onto T18A, right on G18, left onto T18, left onto T28, right onto T30, left onto T32 (this trail is fun) right onto G18, right onto the G1, left onto T11, left onto T10 (this one is getting rutted near the top really bad), left on T12, left onto T9 where we had to fix a flat tire.
We headed up T9 and took the bypass around the difficult trail but a HUGE TREE had the trail 1000% blocked. I hiked up to look for a bypass but there was none to be found. I hiked over to the Extreme section and it lived up to its name but we were determined to make it up. Satch took off then me. We both had to winch up the rock bluff but we had re-arranged the rocks enough so that the rest could make it with a little bumps a bruises.
From there we took a right onto T37 and its had a big tree but we were able to climb over it. From there we took the gravel back to P1 and to the trucks. Great time with great friends. I will have a video later. Got a lot of editing to do.

How did you get the tire to air back up? Happened on a ride and like to never got it to take air. Ended up having to stuff mud around the bead.

Very cool video Phil! I love T9. I don't get to run it much because I usually ride T10 out to T13.

T9 is a challenge at the upper end now. The bypass is blocked off although Rooster was going to check on it this week. Me and another guy had to winch up at the big rock drop but we hit the rock so hard, that it moved it over giving everyone else a chance to slip by it without hitting it.

There were about 20 other Rangers (in another group) and none of them would attempt it. It wasn't that bad just the one spot.

We won't be hard to spot,look for a garish lime green teryx with a crippled old man behind the wheel and a good looking brunette passenger with a disapproving glare on her face and that's us. Can't wait to meet you.
