Inner Loop with Mike R.

Mike R. and I got together for a fun ride last Wednesday. We met at Bradley Creek and did the inner loop counter-clockwise, and went out to the rock. Mike was out for a much larger ride but somehow we were still able to meet up and make this ride work out. It was a beautiful, even hot, day. Perfect temp to start seeing things like this in the forest:

Mike let me lead up to the turn at the cairns but had more in his legs than me after that. We got to the rock in good time and took our first real rest and took in the view. The view from the rock was awesome! 

The descent off the rock was fast fast fast. It was the first ride on my new XTR brakes and I really put them to the test. I did a few reach adjustments to get them dialed in, but other than that, they worked flawlessly. We got to the bottom of the hill pretty quickly and mike took a right, heading to 5018/Turkey Pen area, I took a left and cruised back to the Jeep. Great ride! Thanks for letting me tag along for a while on your otherwise solo epic Mike!
