So I went by Gearhead Monday and you guys are closed for 5 days so I went up and found The Crack and related trails. After all the hype about it, I didn't realize it was only 200m long! Very nice 200m but, jeez...anything else on that level around the Bay Area? I'm here through Labor Day. Anyway, the smooth bermed trail with a few small doubles through eucalyptus forest down to the road was also very cool. But I'm looking for more crackery gnarl. Any leads?ride23 said:
If you're going to be around until Labor day and you want a place where you can ride downhill all day over and over again, you should just make the 3 1/2 hour drive up to Northstar at Tahoe. $33 will get you an all day lift ticket. If I were you I'd get up there sooner than later, the closer you get to Labor Day the more crowded the Tahoe area and the highways leading up to it will be. And if you stay up there the cost of lodging will go up ALOT over holidays.Stiff said:
there's racing at N* on the 11-12th and then again on the 19th. That may affect your decision if you were looking to do DH.Slugman said:
The times I've been up there after Labor day, it's been alot quieter. If I had the pick between Labor Day weekend and the weekend after, I'd go definitly go with the weekend after. There's still plenty to do, but I'd call and check around with where ever you're going to go, alot of places change their days and hours of operation. Northstar's open until Oct. 10th, just Fri-Sun after Labor day though.Slugman said:
