Last weekend was another great weekend away to Black Butte with the guys. 19 in all went, some fished, some hiked, a couple played golf, and 13 of us mountain biked on one ride or another.
On friday, David Andres and I biked over on Horse Ridge, about 20 miles east of Bend. It is desert climate over there, and it was HOT. mid 90s. I got a bit overheated and had to lay down under a Juniper tree for a while. after that I was OK.
On Saturday we went to the Phil’s Trails area. It’s the best complex of bike trails anywhere in my opinion. Our favorite, called the Whoops Trail, is named for its many large jumps and curves. Unfortunately, David had a pretty serious crash on the upper end of that trail. It took us quite a while to get him off the mountain, since he couldnt walk or ride. We didnt know what injuries he had, but he was hurting pretty bad. Thankfully there was an access road nearby, cell phone service, and a Jeep in the area that brought him down to the van. (David found out yesterday he has a torn hamstring.)
On Sunday we rode on the Sisters trail, and there were no mishaps, except for Taylor Swan turning his front wheel into a Taco!
Here are some more pictures of the trip…
