It rained for about an hour, then was an awesome for the rest of the day. You've got to just bite the bullet and come over here one weekend. We shuttled to the top and rode the Zipper and about a half-dozen other trails about about 12 times. And that was after riding the DH courses until about 2...

That is a pretty sweet picture. Thanks for taking the pictures Tony. To all those that thought it was going to be a bad day at beacon really missed out because it really turned out to be a great day.

Ya you never know. I hate to drive 3.5 hours oneway to ride in the rain though. We road a little XC trail in Missoula on Fri about 11 miles. It has some nice DH though. It poured rain on Sat and Sat night here in Missoula. Back to Kalispell today

The weather is suppose to get nice this week.


Are there many trials like the Zipper by the Zipper?

Doesn't Kalispell have some nice stuff?

There's lots of stuff around if you just look for it. There's also lots of bushwacking that you can do and make some really awesome stuff up. Now's the best time to do it because a couple bikes going down the hill makes a trail. There's also Baldy, the hill just north of Beacon, that has a bunch of trails on it. Nobody really rides it, though.

sweet pic, any more of the trails? trying to decide if I should take the time to go over there.
I don't have really any more of the individual trails, but there's lots of fun stuff to ride up there. I mostly have pics of the step-up after the upper road gap (like the pic I posted).

As soon as I graduate, I get my graduation announcement money. Then I get my camera. :monkey:

It was mostly a pretty killer day. Eric and Will were both riding super cute, so here are a couple more pics.

So cute, in fact, that they had numerous tickle fights on the way down the hill.



edit: had to get one shot of me riding in there...

Kalispell has some sick stuff but we still have snow. After this week though, we might be able to ride. The snow is melting fast.

I'm probably going to be going into Montana in the next few weeks to visit my grandparents. Maybe I'll drag along the bikes.

The Sentinel is on Moscow Mt. - about 80 miles south of Spokane. 2 days is enough to ride a lot of what's up there once or twice.
