9-14-2014 - Solo ride around Cottonwood/Goodsprings/Sandy Valley, Mt. Potosi.
I did a solo ride today starting at the Cottonwood parking area.
Rode to the Pioneer, and had a couple of refreshing beverages, and then headed towards Sandy Valley.
(I think I passed 2 riders from todays My2Wheels long ride on their way back)

Along the way, I took a few side roads, and one of them turned into a nice long and technical wash with lots of loose gravel and rocks, and lots of turns. Fun!
It seemed to go on for quite a while, but eventuality it led to another trail that in turn led to a power line road.

While taking a break, I ran into Graham Buck and 3 other riders (2 quads and 2 bikes total).
One of the quads had a flat, so I hung out while they patched it.

I then split and took another side road leading to a cool mine that was not closed shut. So I explored a bit there.

After the mine, I headed back to the power line road, and took the wash leading to the campground at Mt. Potosi.
I got the spring, and a few minutes later, Graham and his group show up there.

Graham's bike seems to be out of coolant...so he fills the radiators up with some water from the spring.

They all take off and I stay back for a few minutes.

I rode out through the campground towards the 160, and Graham was there solo...his friends turned left to go to the Mt Spring bar, and he wanted to turn back towards town (getting late and he had no lights).

He followed me from there through the wash and dirt road back to the parking area @ Cottonwood.

He then continued on back to town and I loaded my bike and split.

Good times.

Think for yourself, question authority.

Nice pictures Fred. You remind me of this rider up here in Idaho Jason Abbott who shares his trail riding adventures on our local forum. His ability to share his experience through pictures and his own storylines are amazing. He should have his own TV show or magazine.

If you have the time, click on his home link and enjoy!
