Sandbar Awesomeness!

 Brent and I did our first big ride up the hill for the year. Frasure Flat bridge to Strawberry the Southfork to Sandbar. Then we had the awesome climb out. Great loop if your'e trying to get your climbing legs back.
He actually managed to keep his feet dry. The water was only about 8 inches deep. He should have gotten wet though. The 1:45 climb out was so hot. My Garmin was showing 91 to 99.8 degrees. Both of us struggled towards the end.

North Yuba

Yesterday I went to Downeyville with Sean, Amy, And Ryan. The upper part of the mountain is still covered in snow so we rode the North Yuba trail below town. The conditions were amazing, never hot never cold. 
 After about two hours of climbing you are rewarded with some amazing downhill.
 Lot's of creek crossings.
 Amy finishing the upper section.
Unfortunately there was a giant washout on the lower section. Sean tried to walk his bike across and fell all the way to the river edge. He was so lucky he didn't actually fall into the water or get busted up in his fall. We had to turn around and go back on the highway. The washout is so big I have no idea how they will get it fixed.
