tony b made his way up from encinitas to make an early season run on Palm canyon.freak break in the weather kept us cool the whole ride and tony's flask of 99 Peach scnapps helped warm the soul.

tony b4 the ride sportin one of Pedal1long limited edition jcash shirts.

got in a groove early.......it's almost like the upper part didn't change through the summer.the wash itself was a lil overgrown.......especially with the cats claws.check pic below.


singletrack bypassing the 2nd wash took a beating in the off season but still better than the wash.tony eyeballed a new trail for us in the end that brought a bit of Pucker factor it also adds singletrack to the end instead of the fireroad descent.



made it home early to Pbr,Pulled Pork sandwiches,fried Pickles and russian river's

Day Two

Day One Upper Kern

So I made a trip up to the Kern PLateau.Picked up a pedal partner in D.Kizer and had 2 motoheads along for the weekend. Setup base camp at Fish Creek friday am.Kizer and me setout for some peddalin around the trail system close to camp. Whooooa was it loose due to all the motos but it made me interested in the next trip for some expedition runs.Trails are everywhere.So I called it quits in our area and loaded up the trucks to drop one off in Kernville for saturday.Ended up stopping at Shermen Pass for a lil climb up to the peak and a great descent down.

My Steed at the Peak.

Mary Collier on her Scary Night
Posted June 17th, 2008 by sherry
Racer Update about:
Mary Collier
Good morning. Its Mary Collier. Tuesday, June 17th. Its about 9:15 a.m. Last night was probably one of the scariest nights in my life. I'm in Seeley Lake and I got to bed about 4 o'clock this morning. I started the pass coming into Seeley Lake at a decent hour and thougth that I would just jam through it. Didn't have any data that there was a ton of snow and snow drifts making the trail very difficult - the pass. I hit snow at about 7:30 and I thougth the snow would pass pretty soon and I got out of the snow at about 12:30 or so after carrying my bike at times because the weight of the bike was pushing me down the hill off of the trail because the snow drifts were making the trail non-existent. Pretty crazy scary stuff. I am going down the trail following in I believe Adrian's tracks. I could see a small block in front of me and from the side some other tracks joined us that were huge bear tracks. So I am walking pushing my bike with my right hand holding my bear spray with the safety off with the left hand. Good moonlight though. Full moon. That was helpful. It was nice. I turned on all of my blinkers too hopefully to scare away any bears. Even before that the day was just crazy, some mountain lion tracks through some knarley stuff, dead deer legs, many many many mosquitoes and huge trees to cross. I lifted my bike over a pile of trees that was taller than me. That was kinda the only way past it. So a rough and crazy day. I was initially planned to make it to Helena today, but looks like I have about 9,000 feet of climbing and after having such a long day yesterday, I am not too hopeful about that. I am going to actually do some laundry here in Seeley Lake and get some breakfast and see where that puts me. So enjoy your day. Talk to you all soon. Bye.
