if the crossmember broke he'd be down here beating me over the head with it.

Seth,
Sure sounds like you've been putting those LA'z through some challenging trails. Glad you're using them for what they are intended for.

Ah, that makes sense! I've never heard of the axle end being ripped off, but makes more sense than x member.

Thanks Seth, for letting me know it can happen LOL!!!!!!!

Yes, it is what leads you to Upper Gold Camp, since Lower Gold Camp Road is closed. The lower half has been closed since the early/mid 90s. You can get on OS from Mesa, behind the Broadmoor. Where the cement sign for the Zoo is, go west, and you are on OS from that point. Once you pass where LGCR used to tie in, you are on Upper GCR.

So, I have hit the bike pretty hard this week. I put on just over 60 miles during my lunch breaks this week. I hope to ride everyday next week, but I had to skip Thursday this, because I was cashed!!

Nice man!!! I've only ridden 9 miles this week. Well, 21 I guess cuz I rode Sun. Still, not nearly enough!!!!!! My goal was to ride 1000 miles this summer. I just went over 700 and it's getting harder and harder.

Holy Cross is awesome guys. WOW!! Just got home about an hour ago. French Creek is pretty killer. My Jeep did pretty well though.. Walked it up on the first try.

Edited to add, I had a helluva spotter though lol..
