I got stuck in heavy traffic on Thursday, so by the time I got to the top of St. Louis, Root had called Ckucke to say that he was on the way. We waited for him to show, so we would have a complete crew for the full descent. We dropped Upper Dumps through the stunt garden, then climbed out to mainline. Someone had recently gone and chainsawed the perpendicular logs out of the escape route to make the ride up to the inner loop easier. Good job! Turning off onto Taco jumps and continuing across mainline to the rock drop, we switchbacked down to the rock waterfall to agave. Backtracking up to the second switchback sortie, we rode down behind the water tank then connected to the trail above the concrete road to the exit trail. While recovering at the concrete road, JT found a mongoose skull. We rode out to the street then decided to go over to UH for some urban riding. We happened to run into Fabio in the Marine Sciences building courtyard on the way to Kuykendall wall.
As the light faded, we shuttled back up to the top in Kevyn’s Jesus truck. While locking his and JT’s bikes onto his rack, Ckucke managed to break the key off inside the padlock. We stopped briefly at his house to cut off the lock with an angle grinder before heading to Azteca in JT’s led sled for some good Mexican food. Halfway through dinner, Chris and Vince showed up and joined us in an adjacent table.
