OMG the shore was awesome i went with him. Incredible trails so much fun. I busted my der hanger halfway through on lower oilcan but it was still awesome riding.
Sweet! Hangers were made to be broken - so long as the wheel and/or derailleur don't get munched, all is well.
I need put some more time in on those trails before too long. For sure after I get my new rig up and running...........some time next month.
The shore was freakin' killer. Oilcan was tons of fun. Probably still a bit beyond what I'm comfortable with, but a bit more practice and I'd have it.
Lower ladies on the other hand, thats just crazy steep stuff!
PERFECT conditions, perhaps just a bit loose rock, but damn near perfection in my book.
I can't wait to do it again.... maybe shuttle next time though. Fromme was a bit of a hike.
My first taste of Fromme was an eye-opener. I didn't mind the hike/bike up the switchbacks. It gives you a chance to warm/wake up.
Wait 'til you experience the Woodlot push for the first time.:evil:
A good push builds character, or something like that. I'm still a big fan of shuttles for sure though.
Hopefully I'll have many more trips to the shore this year.
But for now SST is still home.

If you thought the hike was long try getting 2 hours of sleep then driving up from Seattle at 6:30am. As soon as we arrived we did 3 hours of trail work(carrying heavy A$$ rocks up steep trails) with the locals then hiked/rode up to Upper Oilcan. I was about to pass out on the side of Air Supply after flying and crashing down Upper Oilcan.

2 hours of sleep? I had 4, and I thought that was bad! Was on the road and biking from 5am - 9pm! We need to move the shore closer to seattle for sure.
We moved some rocks as well, but definately not 3 hours worth! Its great when people help with the trail maintenance. Its quite a nice set of trails, and built quite well. The rock work is quite impressive.
