Oh dang. Just found this on the interwebs... picture from our July 4th ride of me hike-a-biking my Felicia up to 13,215' above Jones Pass.

That's practically paved. I'd hit that on my XC bike.Epic day. I now have a new all time favourite trail and unfortunately, everything back home is now going to feel like a cruise on a golf course. I'm blown away by this trail.
Little sampling...
HECK YES! One of the easier rock sections.
I was on my XC bike...
I didn't take pictures of the other sections, because well, I'd either risk losing my bike or myself down into the rapids or into a ravine. The trail was on par with Bromont rox in sections.
I see your XC bike is much like mine... with 6" of travel.
Much less than 6"I see your XC bike is much like mine... with 6" of travel.
Yeah, that's HT rideable with a dropper.Much less than 6"
Uh huh... That involves you being a serious gomer (more than you already are).I'd hit that on my CX bike.
Holyfuck. Welcome back!

The Saint-Raymond trail area is literally at the hotel here.
The Shannahan area (where I rode today) is about a 30 minute drive into the hills.
If you download the app called Ondago, there are trail maps you can make offline (there is absolutely zero cell service out there).
I'd say its worth the trip if you are in the area. Mont Saint Anne isn't far. I am definitely bringing friends here.
Home, first night camping with little man went as well as could be expected. He did not want to sleep and wanted to scream instead but eventually passed out.
Fishing was good till I had a run in with a pissed off badger, hiking good, and scouting/tracking was great.

Got slammed all day at work. Got home, fed the dogs then went out and hammered the road bike for an hour around the vineyards. I feel so much better now. Dinner was 5oz of pan blackened leg of lamb and a dinner salad.
Are you familiar with Vermont riding? Can you compare? I've been wondering if VBdN is worthy of a long weekend road trip instead of Vermont...
Naw, nothing to ride here.
How about in September?
Sure, hit me up!How about in September?
