Little Creek Mesa, 12/28/2007

For our next day of enjoyment we headed over to Little Creek Mesa. I had bumped into a few riders in recent times that had commented that they really enjoyed this ride so it seemed a good natural second ride for the area.

Again it was pretty cold and this ride had a lot more snow as it had more single track in under juniper trees that let the snow in but sheltered it from the sun. It was fun to be creating fresh tracks as we rode.


We had our new GPS with us for this ride and it was very useful as the trail wanders in some of the slick rock canyons in the end of the ride. I actually can't imagine riding without the GPS again on trails I haven't ridden before as it was so easy to use and so helpful to have.


Another one of those "Big sky while riding a sea of slick rock" photos.


This ride also had slick rock steep sections but in general was technically easier than Gooseberry. I think once you knew your way around on the trail it would be a very fast and flowing trail.


Back at the car. Ambers bike has new annodized linkages that Ibis has made available. They were originally designed as a part of the new Mojo SL frame but they fit perfectly on our Mojo's as well and the red ones go nicely with Ambers Pretty in Pink Chris King hubs.

Overall I enjoyed Little Creek. We did the Western Loop, I personally still rate Gooseberry above Little Creek, but it is a fun ride that helps keep the quality of the riding for a trip here very high.
