Oh lord, my knees are shaking watching this. I rode Joe's ridge (20) years ago at 41, not knowing about the steep decline on the other side. At the time, I was an intermediate rider on a 1990's hardtail Cannondale & it was only God Almighty who kept me from dying. Once I hit the top & it was too late to turn around, it was do or die. My butt was literally dropped behind my seat literally feeling the back tires so I wouldn't endo over the handle bars & praying the whole time, with alternate braking. Truly scariest thing I've ever ridden. Thanks for videoing as a reminder for the terror of that day...laughing.
That's awesome!! Thanks for sharing such an incredible memory. I can only imagine on the old bikes and on wilder trails how treacherous it was. I am 61 currently and the equipment is much better these days.
Wow. Some amazing views, Rico. Keep em coming!
Thanks. It was initially startling to be in that environment. I could ride those ridgelines all day....
I was also there 9 years ago and had a great time. Fruit is really a magical place for bikes.
For Sure!
Wow! Spectacular scenery!
It made my eyes water!!
