New Melones Ride 11/28/2008

Cleaning one of the wider switchbacks on the tower climb

Look at that concentration...

Carson Creek Trail, one of the "whoop-de-do's".

Trail hooks to rider's left, up and over that bump and through some large rocks. Don't miss the turn lest you tumble down the hill!

Climbing out a rocky portion after a small bridge at the beginning of the Frontier Trail.

The photo doesn't really give a very good appreciation of how steep this part is...

I think this is the top of the Tower Climb, a very gruelling steep climb with 8 or 9 sharp switchbacks.
