Summer in January?

 Well..... this past weekend was one for that tipped the fun scales.  Matt, Curt, Aaron and a couple of others made me an offer I couldn't refuse, so, down I headed, last minute to Phoenix to ride dirtbikes in the middle of January.  Jackson has been experiencing a high, dry, and cold phenomenon for weeks now, which made getting down to Arizona even sweeter.  

Curt hauled all of the moto's and gear down while the rest of us flew.  

First day's ride up Crown King road.  We searched hard the first day and rode like bandits for 70 miles, however, never located the elusive "amazing singletrack" in this particular area near Cave Creek.  

 Yea, pretty sure we left the northern latitudes to get the hell out of this white stuff!  The Phoenix area was suffering through their coldest weekend since the early 1980's.  It was actually pretty damn chilly in the mornings and struggled to get to the upper 40's during the day.  All six of us fell on the re-froze ice on our motos.  It was super sketchy. 

Our 6 rider posse. 

 Aaron, chilled to the bone, coming back down to the valley for some much needed warmth.  

Below, just the the Harley boys do it in front of  the Cowboy in the summer, except this is a lot cooler!  KTM well represented.  

 A thing of beauty, racing the sun, loaded moto's, enjoying a frosty cold one.

 The SLC crew minus two.

Me, Curt, Aaron, and Matt.

 The beastiest truck I have even traveled in.  Aaron's 3500 turbo diesel that he has all kinds of modifications too.  It hauled us four around and our moto's for the whole weekend.
