Panther Gulch Ride to East fork

We headed out about 7:15 p.m. with lights ready.  A fairly warm day today.  It seems that summer has finally decided to show up - still only in the 90's.  When we took off the temperature was very comfortable.  We got up to the yellow gate on panther in about 40 minutes from Dan's house.  A fairly comfortable pace, where we were able to talk as we climbed.  It started to get pretty dark a little after 8 especially in the real shady areas.  It is a nice decent on the old jeep road that connects with the upper part of east fork.  (see the location pin on the map).  Good ride and took about 1 hour 30 minutes.  Next time I think we will leave a little later to enjoy some of the night riding.
