Nice Timmay.Mornin!
Last year SS led me on a ride down Dakota Ridge that, at the time, rattled me pretty good. It was a giant strugglefest and I had yet to go back and try again.
Well, I slayed the dragon last night and sessioned the whole thing until I could ride all of the down and most of the up. Along the way I had the pleasure of running into a coworker there who it turns out shreds, so it looks like I may have also found another riding buddy for these after work jaunts.
Made it about 60% of the way up the steps. Got off and walked after that cause, you are right, fuck those things.Nice Timmay.
Did you get up the 'steps', at the top of zorro and the others after turning south from the saddle???
Fuck those things in particular.

hey SS ... do you take the steep left exit line before the final switchback at the south end of D.R. proper?Damn... was that a YEAR ago??
Whole bunch of nope for me. Not a fan of bottom out onto pavement.hey SS ... do you take the steep left exit line before the final switchback at the south end of D.R. proper?
Oh, fuck no.hey SS ... do you take the steep left exit line before the final switchback at the south end of D.R. proper?
There's a little dip before you even get to the pavement IIRC. There are several moves on Blackjack at Buff Crik which similarly violate my "no steep-ass rollers to flat" rule.Whole bunch of nope for me. Not a fan of bottom out onto pavement.
Stubbed my toe pretty bad yesterday. Large blood blister under the nail. Looks like the weekend will include a bottle of bourbon, pliers and max volume swearing.

@jstuhlman : My first ride after I moved here I met some great folks while playing on DR on my Evil. Snapped a pic of Mike taking the line. (STIL, for realz)Oh, fuck no.

Sounds like @Nick is going today. Perhaps you two should buddy system it so you'll have someone to scrape you off the rocks and vice versa.I need to hit DR again, only been there once and I hadn't been on proper trails in 3 months. It was a rude awakening.
i looked into it too. bunch of caveats as well:Looked into Verizon's new unlimited data and found even though the price is technically the same I pay it's sixty more a month
