White Rim in a day; Do over





Looking forward to completing WRIAD this year. First attempt was aborted due to heavy rains the day/night before. We rode anyway, with the intention of just riding and getting to know the lay of the land. Mineral bottom road was a mess, covered in 6 inches of red mud.We rode for 6 hours. Headed down Schaeffer switchbacks and out past the Lathrop Canyon trail on the way back we took this trail down to the colorado river.

It was awesome and made me thirsty for the rest of the trail. Hopefully, my knee improves steadily and I can attempt later this year.

Thats a fun challenge and if conditions are right you can really fly through it. Water becomes tough - but I've been able to poach some off the shuttle service crews who always seem to want to help the solo in a day riders.
