Rubicon Ridge is an awesome trail! Lots of technical stretches, steep inclines and declines. I found myself alternating between lockers (makes both wheels spin at the same rate) on the inclines, where it was easy to spin and slide: and the rubber ducky button on descents (modulates hill breaking so you don’t lose control) where it was easy to slide if you miscalculate. It definitely demands your complete attention.
No mechanicals or face-plants to report today. Lots of dust, more than yesterday. It was cooler but more humid. Koda had a blast meeting the other Jeepers. We headed back after this morning’s trail ride. The group is going to tackle a couple very difficult trails this afternoon. That translates to “highly modified else body damage”. Erm, I’m ok, calling it a weekend. 🙂
I stopped at a self service car wash and got all the mud and dust off the Jeep. One day I plan to strip down the Jeep and vacuum the inside. One day. Not today. Provably not tomorrow. 🙂
This was my first trip with Yet Another Jeep Club (YAJC) and I plan to pencil this in as an annual event! Thanks to all who made this Hot Springs OHV trip fun!
UPDATE: Koda and I are back home. After bathing him, he finally had a chance to chill on his dog park chair, as we plan our next long weekend.
