Langdale to Davis Bay



Date: Saturday May 29

Weather:  In a cloud all day, not really raining, but wet.

Temperature: Steady between 8 and 9

Who rode? Furio, Manny, Dane, Lee, Patrick, Steve, and Marley

Ride: Langdale to Davis Bay.

Route: Lee picked us up at Jack Rd., parked at Sprokids.  Warmed-up on a few of the lower trails before joining Flume, then the usual, Sidewinder, 102, 103, Guys Gulch, Trailfest, Ripped Nipple, and Steps 2 and 3.

Trail Conditions: Greasy in places, puddles and muddy at the end. It felt like we were some of the first riders on Ripped Nipple. There were many small blowdowns.

Distance: 30km

Time: Five and half hours.

Maintenance: Left most of the equipment at home, but Lee brought his saw. We cleared a few trees and emptied a puddle or two.

Notes: The top of 103 is about 600m, Sprokids 200m.  We all rode well, a little cramping and a fever aside.
