Today it was Russ, Matt, Royce and myself. We shuttled up to the Summit parking lot. From there we headed up the Summit trail, made a right on the Snow Gauging trail and then headed over to Timpanookee.
On the Snow Gauging trail or a connector from that to Timpanookee, Russ pulled out his handy saw and with Matt's help he cleaned off some deadfall.

From the Timpanookee shack we rode up a little bit of single track and then hit the dirt road up to Julie Andrews Meadow.
The turn off to Julie Andrews Meadow. I wonder if she knows about this meadow.
The temperature was perfect, probably 60 or 65 degrees, no noticeable wind and best of all, no Motorcycles the whole trip! Not even Horses.

Yeah I know, we have to share the trail, and we do, but the Motorcycles sure are noisy and stinky and seem out of place in some of these areas. I used to ride a motorcycle in the back country. This was before 1979, back when mountain bikes were rare, especially in Utah and there was not a need to evolve. Now that I have evolved I would like to see others evolve too!
Here we are riding the top of Bear after the long climb up to Julie Andrews Meadow .
So after dropping down Bear to Mutual Dell I thought maybe we were finished, but to the joy of my spirit, Russ was suggesting to ride back up to Trail Crossing, single track over to Pine Hollow and ride back down Pine Hollow. I had never ridden that so it was awesome to hit some new trail and add more time on to the ride. Pure sweetness.
