The 'Tip's' Playground 09/10

Riding Monday 12-14-09?

Silvertip,

You up for a ride on Monday? Looks like the weather might clear out...

I'm heading back up to my place at Alpine Meadows on Sunday and fixing the trailer, planning on riding Monday..just need a wingman/guide....

LTS?...

Cisco?.... I've never ridden there but want to try that place out.

I'm pretty green, but I'm quickly becoming an expert at digging myself out on my own!!!

Let me know,

We were heading in and I wanted to playing one more area and ran into the rest of the WCS crew. They were playing in a bowl that I had track up earlier. lol
Dan and Bob went in from here and the rest of us went to a steeper and DEEPER area with few track on it till we got there. FUN FUN FUN
The only Pic I had time to take was of!!!!!!!

And the best part of the whole ride was all my stucks were not within Camera range. (I hope)

Another Great Day of Rding

It was a fun day. I didn't start off good with Salty Dog losing a clutch and needed to be tow out. But we've all had that happen to us before and some of us many times. Get her going so we can ride Jeff. :)
Also rode with PowderHound, sno4daz, and friend Greg. North sides of all the tall hills are still very soft and good climbing. A few stucks and lots of fun.
Only 3 Pic today. Didn't do a lot of stopping. Lets ride was the words for the day. lol
Looking over @ PowderHound stuck right a cross from me and the others stuck right below him. I don't get any better. :D

Only 1 time in 43 yrs. of riding Don. Riding alone is not very smart. So if your going to do it any way you may need all the help you can carry with you.
 
Haha, If anyone can get you out off the hill it's John. There is a reason this thread is called "The Tip's Playground." He knows the area like the back of his hand and knows how to ride it.
 
I did another ride on Sat. with my friend Eric from here in NC. This was my third ride in 3 day and i'm tiered. 164 miles in 3 days all X-counrty. GREAT I'm up to 416 miles and that is a great start for the season. We rode over and hooked up with AO and smarsher at the Shantie Cabin for lunch and a fun ride around there.
A few Pic of the Ride.
I was surprized their were NO new track out of Glacier. Eric going up. We did find some Icy spot that were hairy.

Had a great time did 64 miles and the first ones out of the parking area and the last back @ 4:45. This getting back when it is dark is a good day.

Went for a little above Cisco today. It was nice with all the fresh snow to cover the old Tracks. I made it out to Mossy Pond today. I don't think anyone has been out there this year. Didn't see any track anyway. I did a little over 30 miles alone today and lots of fun.
Nice little Hill without any track. Till I got there. lol

Still to many rock for the boys to be doing any big climbs. And like Scott said earlier the light was very bad in the afternoon. All in all though a great ride.

Thanks guy for letting me go with you all. LOVED IT
