Or at what survival rate exactly does the “adventure” start for us EUC enthusiasts? I always thought of EUC riding with all its potential hazards and its well-temperate danger as a kind of “extreme sport”. I wonder: Do we really have to make it even more extreme than it already is by having a couple of helicopters on stand-by? I thought that’s what only back-country snow boarders were doing! But the lesson I learned from this is to have at least one friend or family member be aware of where exactly I am planning to go and give him a call all 3 hours or so. And if this call does not come, have him search for me and pick me up (with a crane 😝) or call for help. Ha ha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out that where we started (County Park) it was opened but after a handful of miles it enters the Forest Service and was closed, but we didn't know it. Fortunately the ranger didn't fine us considering the condition that we were in. I didn't find the route on Telegram. My friend who know that area really well took a stab at where the thought you went. Is this about right? That is some really hard riding on a mountain bike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
