La Tuna Canyon Loop - A Classic!

Today Blowtar and I decided to go with an oldie but goodie. In fact, La Tuna Canyon is pretty much the first real Mountain Bike Ride I ever went on. Its about a 10 mile loop if you take the main route, which is basically up the fire road to the summit by the radio towers, hang a right, bomb a few miles of primo fire road, and then hang another right at the plastic bench to drop into the single track. This of course is immediately followed by a shitty ride back to the parking lot which is all uphill. Anyways, today I killed La Tuna in a feat of endurance I'm not sure I will ever be able to top. I rode to the top, non-stop, without any water in 39 minutes. I'm not trying to brag, but i do want a record of it on this blog so I can see how far I fall off next time I attempt to blast it like that. Blowtar did awesome as well, clocking in around 45 minutes. After we took a breather, the real fun began, and we began our descent. The pictures below tell the rest of the story...
