Kelly Flats 6-5-16

[Brucker]

Wow. Thank you guys for a great time! Just got back and unloaded. Will upload the crappy cell phone photos I took tonight. Trail wasn't busy and was as easy as I remembered it being. But it does still have it's fun sections. It was a great day in the wonderful Colorado mountains with some even better people. Thanks to Mike and to Steve for making it out!

At the top, where the lower lip of concrete ends / matches with soil - how large of a gap was there?

`last I recall it was 10 to 18" (last season???)

[newracer]

It is much bigger now. There has been some rock stacking though. I'll post pictures and video later.

I also had a great time. Aaron and Steve are good guys to wheel with.

[Tom]

How tough is heart attack. Need lockers? Never run KF. Thinking maybe next weekend.

[Jim]

There is a bypass for heart attack (though I've never taken it and some have said it's almost as difficult) 0.02

[newracer]

The bypass is easier but still not easy. Lockers definitely help on either because there is a lot of loose rocks. The easier line on Heart Attack Hill is the far left. I have video of the whole hill I will post later.

Glad you all had a good day. Can't wait to see the pics

[newracer]

I didn't get any action shot of Steve on Heart Attach Hill because by time I stopped her was already past the hard areas.

Steve's first run through in The Chutes.

Arron taking the right side line

[newracer]

Steve's second time though, tried the right side but was denied just as I was. He did give his new tube fenders a good test, they held up well.

[newracer]

Video of the first few easy obstacles just past the gate. I didn't realize my winch thimble would be so much in the way. I need to find a new mounting location. Lots of clanking from my shackles and engine noise too, might want to have the volume down.

[Brucker]

Great photos! Thanks!

Mike and Steve, care if I save your photos in my albums?

[Brucker]

Mike- should we do a report over on Colorado4x4.org as well?

[newracer]

Save anything you want.

We should do one there, at least to show that someone still wheels.
