4th of July / Icicle Ridge Conditions

Awesome! Armando, Josh and I were up there saturday.
Conditions were primo! Well, brush was a little thick in spots, but a minor annoyance really.

Video?, water?, how much do I have to push?

Uncle Len proposes we add value to our threads not wear down our friendly sources with things we should prepare for on our own.

I posted this Kirkendall route as a bbtc ride ten years ago and a guy showed up on a Huffy he bought that week and pushed it all the way up.

Anyhow he comes up to the intersection and out of his pack comes a stove and he cooked a bowl of soup. Then he fired up a cigarette and told the few of us remaining he had survived cancer the year before and felt more alive than ever and was savoring every minute and this ride inspired him to buy the huffy.

I bummed a smoke and after savoring it he and I had a great ride down at very social pace and he took this shot:



You still out there Paul? That was a good ride brother...

Thanks much FM for the info and when I roll it I'll recruit loppers and handsaws and we will only take out that which pisses us off.
