I wouldn't mind joining in on those festivities as well. I've been off the bike for a week.

Well Marcel called me around 6 from Santos. He had begun his journey on the reds, after we exchange weenie insults, we agreed that this challenge would take place.

Stay tuned...Fellow Weenies!!!

Hey you weenie (Gregg),
Here you go... count them down:

-Sinkhole: done it - nice easy warm up.  Very very tight.  Need crow bar for this one.
-Rattle Snake:  Done it - no snake bytes.  Just a couple of rocks wanting som of my flesh
- Magic Mountain: Done it - short tough climb, get over the rocks (walked) - then hang on for dear life on decent.
- Rige: Done it... I think this is part of Rattle snake. 
- John Brown: What the heck?????  I want to live a little longer please... walked down the 6 foot drop on the south side.  No way Jose!to the query pit only to be blocked by 3 humongous trees.  Grass taller then me.  I think they are not keeping this up.  Walked up the rocks then found rattle snake, ant hill, ... ahhh.. much easier.. well, easier then John "Big Cojones" Brown.  When  I get a bigger pair of Cojones, I'll try to ride at least 5-10 feet of this one.  LMAO....
- Ant Hill:  Didn't try it.  Got lost on RattleSnake.
- Red Trail (name?) around vortex:  Couldn't find after I went into the vortex to check out the jumps.  Found a little trail in the middle called "Back Door 2"... So I hit the back door... you bet I did!!!... but trew me out to Twister... What the heck???  Oh well, Twister was a lot of fun....

So... who the winnie/weenie now???  BRING IT!!!  I will return maybe Saturday or even SUnday after Croom to do the other red ones.  GPS map soon to follow so you belive me for sure.

Okay, I did walk some of the very steep and very tough rocky parts.  Put my foot down several times but is a start.  But I can now say that I did at least 80% of the trails I mentioned above. 

BTW, did you all know that Santos is open for night rides?  Dont quote on me on this and you may want to check it out with OMBA.  The guy that takes care of the camping area told me I could stay on TH parking lot all I wanted as long as I rode with a light and not camp on that side.  Cool... maybe I'll try it some day.

Sandpine, you did a good job, but you missed the best parts.  John Brown and the loop around the Vortex are great!  I rode those last weekend for the first time.  They were slick as hell because it had rained the night before but it was sure a lot of fun!!  Those parts are very slow and technical.  You sure feel good after you tackle them!

Sandpine - given your description of John Brown, you might have made a wrong turn somewhere.  All the reds at Santos are a blast.  I usually do Cow Bone to Magic Mountain to Rattle Snake to Ant Hill to John Brown then Bunny Trail to the other side, play on the jumps, drops, and pump track, hit the Vortex Trail, come back and do Sink Hole on the way in.
