Did some dirt/paved riding today

[pecha]

It snowed yesterday but I decided to go anyway, 40F and warming up to 50F in the valley
my yard is a mess


down in Pollock Pines by a cool car


I went this way before - Happy Valley


What I wanted to do was to find the connection between Happy Valley, Grizzley Flat and Fairplay
Here's a map of the area. Even though google shows no way, I had a feeling that some dort roads might go thru
looking down


first bridge


second bridge - still in Happy Valley


crossing to the Grizzly Flat wasn't too bad (map)
going further down was the part that didn't connect according to google maps
locals had the same opinion


the road was pretty goaty and slick, I was hoping I wouldn't have to take the same way back


SUCCESS!!
found the bridge and the connection to the other side of the valley. I went from 3000ft down to 2000ft to cross the river and then back up to 3000ft


it was a good day, I wish I had taken more pictures but it was hard to stop on slick down/uphills, only ate dirt once with no damage
