Heavy Breathing, Snakes and Riding Slow! GRINduro 8 Extreme Loop Prep

In this video I go down to the ranch to put first tracks on the extreme loop for the upcoming GRINduro 8 trail ride at the ranch. It was wild to see how much things have changed since the flash flood we had back in May. My dad and I saw three Diamondback Rattle Snakes the second day as temps were in the low nineties but then they were all hiding the last day we worked on trail as the temps were in the low forties. The speeds are low in the video but I wanted to share some of the recent trail work and tape hanging excursions that have been going on. GRINduro 8 is sold out for the year and we are looking forward to riding with everyone next month!
