The upcoming moto ride/quick report.

[glockman]

I'd love to go but I have a set of rear leafs that need to go on my Excursion before Friday when we head out camping. The trail from Kirkmans is pretty technical but doable. My son rode it on a YZ 85 when he was 10. There is a nice parking area at the trailhead and you dont need plates if you start from there. The trail goes up that canyon and forks at the top. If I remember correctly you follow trail 12, but don't hold me to that. If you turn left it will take you over to diamond fork, right will take you down to the Mapleton canyon campground where you will have to turn around unless you have plates.

The road from Squaw peak to Hobble creek is open to OHV's. It's a road and not a trail so it's not as much fun to ride but there are some awesome views. It will dump you out in HC about 3 miles up the left fork that is just past the HC golf course.

Here is a picture from the top of the HC side last spring.

Hobble Creek is on my short list, and I'd love to do it this weekend but we're going camping instead. Maybe next weekend???

 

[Cascadia]

I'll do hobble creek next weekend. As long as I keep seeing this thread updated I'll remember.

Here is a short video from our ride wednesday. I'm the front bike so I didn't see the wreck, just heard about it until today. We rode two trails up Payson canyon, it is prime to ride right now.

I'm headed up there today campin with the family. I may try and sneak in a ride tomorrow. Looks awesome.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I'm going to AF Canyon this Thursday night. I plan on doing Mineral Basin and Forest Lake. Who's in?

 

[Cascadia]

Depends what bike you're on. I'd love to try out my new ktm. Someone might buy my trials bike on Wednesday...a girl.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I've talked to that girl online before. Is it Amy? I think you should keep it and ride both.

 

[Cascadia]

Yes it is Amy. And some old guy instructor is the guy that came and checked it out for her. He was president of Utah trials or something like that. My bike must be in good shape if he still recommended it.

 

[thefirstzukman]

If by back I good by then I'm up for the ride.

I'd love to Steve, but I can't get away from work early, I have meetings till 4:30.

 

[sixstringsteve]

that's ok, I have meetings 'till 5.

 

[Caleb]

So what time are you planning on starting? (maybe I can make it )

 

[sixstringsteve]

Saturday mornings are best for me.

 

[Cascadia]

Is hobble creek still on for this Saturday morning?

 

[Caleb]

Saturday mornings are best for me.

Ah, I thought you said you were riding AFC this Thursday, that's what I was referring to.

Is hobble creek still on for this Saturday morning?

I'd still like to do it. I've never rode it and don't have any maps of the area, but I'mm willing to drive up there and see if we can get ourselves lost a little
