Well sorry...tried posting photos with no successs. Tried using photos hosted on MTBproject but that didn’t work. Tried posting straight from my pad but the size was too large, so will have to figure this out.
Anyway, I’ve done some dirt road tours and some road tours, but have never tried touring on more technical single track. Loaded up my new (to me) Mukluk with two days worth of gear and drove up to South Lake Tahoe. Rode up Horse Meadow Rd. and up to Armstrong pass, up to Freel Pass and down to Star Lake. About 10 miles 2500ft and just over 3 hours. A fair amount of walking, but still fun and plenty of time to lounge at Star Lake, set up camp, and cook dinner and go for another short ride up toward Monumnet pass.
Next day I dropped down Star lake trail, down High Meadows Rd, across to incense Cedar trail, up Sierra Sidewinder, and on up Armstrong trail back up to the pass, and back down the road to the car. About 2500 ft straight down and 2500 ft back up a 10 mile climb, and about a 5h ride, 22 miles total. Super fun and almost completely all rideable even with the loaded bike.
Super fun weekend and I can’t wait to try bigger things...and hopefully figure out how to get some pictures loaded.
