Right after we got off Slickrock, the rain started. We got to mostly avoid it at home and at dinner, but a lot of water came down, and the shuttle company said because of the mud that it wasn’t possible to shuttle all the way up to Upper Porcupine Singletrack like we did the last few times we’d been here. So we started at the Lazy Boy trailhead (a first for everyone), which means you have to do a mile of climbing to get to the rim.
Totally Doable, of course, but we didn’t ride all that much of the uphill. It’s technical and you’re still above 7000 feet.
We got to the top (me, Dragon and Josh on uni, Lance and Karl on bikes) and had a great time in good riding conditions on the way down.
As always, it was epic. And we didn’t even really have much of a Best Biff; probably Dragon trying a bonus line about halfway down. Beautiful place, awesome riding, Hard to beat as a MUni trail, anywhere in the world.
