Pineview/Avon Road/Ben Lomond Ride report

[Corban_White]

Well, I have known it for a while but the ride yesterday just reaffirmed this: if you want to get schooled on a dirtbike go with an old guy. I believe Caleb took a few pictures. It was a gnarly ride. Lots of fun though. Russ made it look easy no matter which bike he was on. I do think that Caleb is now convinced to get the Dyna-ring now. Good times.

Sounds like it was a good time, I'm looking forward to the pics!

I'll post the pictures tonight when I get home (I only have a couple and all in the same spot). It was a very fun ride with some stuff I'd rather not ride again (atleast until I'm in much better shape and I have one of them fancy auto-clutches )

Until I get some pictures, here's the Google Earth track for some enjoyment

Oh, and apparently we lost one thing out the back of my truck...my helmet and goggles

Oh, and I've decided that switch backs are the bane of my existence

Sounds like good times! I wouldn't mind tagging along with you guys sometime Pretty sure you can ride from Kaysville to Soda Springs along the highline trail. I've never been further south than Blacksmith Fork in Cache Valley though.

For those of you looking at the .kmz, we started at the dam and went clockwise. Too bad there was snow on the mtn when google took the images.

I did this in late October last year and there was snow. We couldn't get to the top of the switchbacks because of the snow.

Nice video! after the switchbacks when the road gets wide and fast looks like the Willard peak road. Towards the end of the video I don't know where that is. Good view of the switchbacks at 1:24 that goes on for a little bit.

Makes you want to ride it on a 2 stroke doesn't it.

Not on that trail!

Here's the few pictures I have from the ride. That picture of Ben Lomond Peak does it no justice

I just did the ben lonmond peak run a month ago. That section just after the peak and head north sure got our attention. Nothing gets your heart beating like a several hundred foot drop on a trail just wide enough for your bike. We had a great ride, awesome veiws, mountain goats, eagles, great trail.
