A large gathering for the annual Sycamore ride and beach BBQ
|
|
 |
Charlotte and Tamara coordinate the rides
|
|
 |
climbing Overlook under the marine layer
|
|
 |
it's a tad barren out there!
|
|
 |
the carbonized forest
|
|
 |
Jim gives Felice some instruction on shoulder injuries while Randy takes note!
|
|
 |
why is Charles all smiles? ...
|
|
 |
.. oh, that's right - he's riding his new Turner Burner!
|
|
 |
dynamic duo Charlotte and Desi, who's all kitted out, including lipstick!
|
|
 |
Joanna - proud wife of a new Turner Burner owner!
|
|
 |
off down Backbone - Desi checks out who is behind her.
|
|
 |
Desi rides the carbon sticks
|
|
 |
amazing how much difference oxidation makes!
|
|
 |
an eerie landscape
|
|
 |
burned as far as the eye can see
|
|
 |
the valley trails now visible below
|
|
 |
John rides oblivious to the now visible exposure on backbone!
|
|
 |
North Ranchers know the rules - uphill has preference!
|
|
 |
more burnt twigs at the Backbone plateau
|
|
 |
it's a 'long and winding road' now!
|
|
 |
North Ranchers dwarfed by the parched scenery
|
|
 |
Amy takes a breather to take in the devastation
|
|
 |
nearing the fire road by what used to be tick log
|
|
 |
who's that on my tail?...
