I too have hit this trail solo, it's a fun ride. Next time you and your mom or dad are in the area hit me, I'll show you my favorite single track, "The Kingsbury Stinger" trail.
What app/map do you use? Thx. Love your videos, inspire me to ride more; not always feasible to find a buddy to ride with. Riding alone better than not riding; stay safe!
I almost always create tracks through Google Earth and have those on my GPS. However, since this was a shorter ride with cell the entire way I just took a picture of my Google Earth route on my phone and crossed referenced it with Google Maps satellite view, which showed my dot of where I was. Very rudimentary this time compared to normal.
I ride alone about 95 percent of the time and actually prefer it to riding in a group. It is definitely not for some people but I love it. If you take the right precautions (Garmin InReach, food, tools etc.) and really know your limits and stay with in them it can be safe. To blindly go out and ride alone without a plan wouldn't be too smart.
I ride alone all the time. it's fine to do. during the summer it is a nice option to not have dust. with that said when riding alone you ride different. you don't push yourself and make decisions on the safe side. and always let someone know you went and about where you will be at or around.
Hi Old Vet, your roughly worded statement here brought out the naysayers, so I'll capitalize on it as a good discussion starter (and to help Miss Trails algos). If you guys ask Search and Rescue Managers what they think - I'll tell you, we think you are adding more risk to a risky sport. Enjoy the ride, eliminate risk where ever you can. Never hike or ride alone in the backcountry is my advice. That won't change most minds cause I know how they think. I could tell you worse stories, of my unit's Rescues and Recoveries or the story of the two that died from my Dirt Bike club, but I'll spare you those details. Be like Old Vet, ride safe enough to sound old and cantankerous ;) . I'll bet he's coming from love and wisdom, on this advice, as I am also.
I rode Prosser back when I was your age and that was the one thing I remember it had a ton of switchbacks
Nice work on your content! Looks I will have to make a trip there to ride! Be safe!

I like watching your vids but I think it's DUMB to be out there riding alone...
