Did Los Burros yesterday on my way through the White Mountains. It was in great shape. I hadn't ridden it in a couple of years and I really liked the small reroutes that have been put in on the short loop. Well done.
I'm driving up there Friday mid day and coming home Sunday evening. I had hoped to ride Los Burros but I also want to fish with my kids and we don't have a ton of time. Maybe I'll see you up there.
Planning to hit Los Burros over the holiday weekend for the first time. Can someone recommend which direction to ride the loop? Looks like Trail Forks recommends CCW but thought I would ask here too. FYI...I only like to climb to get to the DH.
The cameras in Showlow are all down. But they do patrol quite a bit there and Pinetop. I smashed my face really bad on Los Burros father's day weekend. Spent a good bit of time in Summit Healthcare ER. Watch out for the rock after the second jump after the trail goes down hill past the shortcut.
Well my first Los Burros experience got cut real short. Just made it to the start of the single track heading CCW and the rain started. Hunkered under some oak trees for about 20 mins and it just wouldn't ease up. Totally bummed. Area was really beautiful. Saw a couple horses just as I got onto the single track. Not sure if they were wild but they definitely caught me off guard. Looking forward to trying this ride again when it's a little dryer.
Tried to Ride LB this morning. Just too muddy. It won't be decent for a few days assuming no rain in between. Forest roads are pretty much the alternative.
Yea, if you want technical try Blue Ridge or for very technical try the Springs Trail. Springs is called out by the forest service as "moderate" but it's pretty darn technical if you ask me. Springs is only 3.5 miles and relatively flattish but it really makes you maneuver your bike in spots. I HAB'd several times.
The west end of Timber mesa has some good tech. also might want to try panorama. not a lot of tech but a good ride. when are you going to be in pinetop? Trails are muddy right now.
Thanks for all the info...I'll be there 7/24 through 7/26.
