Coming off a good Saturday gave me inspiration to take the singlespeed
to Buffalo Creek. I met up with Keith, Bill, Mark, and Stu for a great
20 mile ride. The weather could not have been more perfect and soon my
trepidations of bringing the singlespeed were gone.
We start with a short parallel ride on sandy wash and back to 543 for
the climb up morrison creek to sawmill.

There's a rider in here somewhere.

Following Keith down Sawmill. I swear the 29er SS was made for this place!

Stu decided to take the opposite way up and meet us for some more downhill.

Then it's a short trip up 543 and a climb up Gashouse. Although I had
to stop and catch my breath a few times, I didn't have to push the bike
at all.

The climb up Gashouse was not bad at all and it was made even better by
the anticipation of roaring down Charlie's Shortcut and Sandy Wash.

Back at the car I reminded myself why I bought this bike and although
there have been times out here when I have wanted to sell it, being able
to ride Buffalo Creek on the SS makes it a keeper.
