The no-no ride,

[enzo]

Well I went on an adventure ride on Sunday. Just got a new KTM 530 EXC with the all important license plate. Rode from my house and did about 300 miles. Rode some of the most intense single track I have ever been on. Once in a lifetime ride.

This section was sketchy. My buddy stopped here and pushed his bike backwards for 200'

And he missed this view! About 12000' altitude.

Looks like the backside of Keysville. Lots of private property you can ride on mixed with a lot that you cant. C'mon enzo, you should have never went on riding alone in those conditions. Way to dangerous.

It was a long way away from were I live, Probably 80% road.

Way north of Keysville.

I only rode with out my buddy the last mile or so. Can't ride all that way and not go to the top!

Hell ya!!! At 10,000 feet I start needing to acclimate. Did you find yourself short of breath at that altitude? I was originally shocked to see snow but ya at 12k I guess you would. Looks fun-

I would guess Bishop then but you cant make it there and back in 300 can you?

I know you only rode the last mile but if your friend walked his bike out and was afraid to go in that means he cant come save you either. Well I guess he could walk over there.

I felt fine until the last 1000 feet or so. Got really light headed and had to concentrate on breathing and not spending to much energy. That was kinda scary.

Good point..you should never leave your wing-man! I made a judgment call and luckily it worked out.
