LA-B-V

[Crawdaddy]

The LA-B-V portion of my ride was a short segment......so the report is equally short......

I rode up to Sandy Valley Sat morning and met up with my friend Gil.......we rode into Vegas via the std LA-B-V tracks and a couple other wrinkles I knew about

Gil coming along a side trail I showed him between Sandy Valley and Mtn Springs (same ~1+ mile side trail I included in the Primm ride I set up last Spring......the one with the waypoint "Nice Truck" where there's an abandoned/rusted on truck off the trail)



The views coming down into in Red Rock Canyon never get old......surprisingly there was only a dusting of snow and ice.



Snapped a pic of Gil as we rode out of Red Rock Canyon on the road:



This pic should actually be captioned " leaving " Las Vegas......had a couple snap a pic of me when I rode out of Vegas on Sunday morning on my way back to Bullhead City, AZ.......the long/dirty way along Lake Mojave ......found some good "C.O.R.E." material between Cottonwood Cove along Lake Mojave and Christmas Tree Pass ......more on that in another report.....

They also gave an appreciation plaque to the guy in the picture (he was there again this year).......I don't recall his name.....

Julie tells me it went on the t-shirt, the flier, and the website? That's pretty rad. I thought it would only be in the one newsletter but it appears to have made the rounds. Darn lucky to have caught that pic in the first place, we stopped there for a minute as you may remember for a water break when those guys passed us.

Here you are coming down that same hill looking up:

That same hill will be featured in an upcoming C.O.R.E. ride out of Ridgecrest

That Guy would be me! Greg Eyrich. And I can't wait to do a C.O.R.E Ride. I like the way you do it!!

Awesome! Welcome Greg! Glad to have ya here Did ya introduce yourself in the New Members section yet??

I think I remember coming DOWN that hill too. Is that the one south of Ridgecrest near the Buro Schmidt tunnel?

I know the hill as well- when my group went down it, the wind was whipping through there like a Kansas tornado. Actually blew one of our guys over- if you stood on the pegs you were almost certain to hit the ground.

Awesome! Welcome Greg! Glad to have ya here Did ya introduce yourself in the New Members section yet??

I have now!

And the Hill in the Picture is along Barren Ridge West of Jawbone. It was a spectacular section for sure!!
