I heart Fromme
- Thread starter juice
- Start date
Sorry I missed ya. I was showing a couple guys Seymour yesterday. We had plans to ride Fromme but opted for the shuttle route. If you havn't rode the beginning of CBC lately you should. The thing is a masterpeice. It was most likely the last weekend for Seymour and perhaps Fromme. Good times!!

Nice pics on that other thread. I'd post some Fromme pics, but there wasn't enough light for my lack of skill and small camera.
I thought CBC was already closed, sweet that you got to hit it one last time. I don't think I'd ever seen as many people climbing up mountain hwy as we saw on Sat. The coolest part is that almost half of them were gals.
But don't give up on Fromme just because its winter. 7th and upper Oil might get snowed in, but we've been able to hit trails like espresso, starfish, etc. well into the winter. If its a big snow year your outta luck, but them I'll be up floating in the pow anyway.

You can still ride it in the snow. My first trip down UOC last year was in a couple inches of snow. Just bring extra clothes to the top for your trip down.
We rode one run down CBC,Corkscrew etc and ended up at the big supermarket lot asking for a ride up. One of the riders we asked sternly told me that CBC was closed for the season. The next crew that shuttled me to my truck said it's a weather dependent thing. We listned to them and rode it again. When entering the trail we ran into the trailbuilder (nice guy) and he said he took off the closed signs because of how dry the trail was. We thanked him for his great trailbuilding and proceeded down We had his blessing....we took it and ran (rode).
It was fun but suuper sketchy. If you avoid some of the more interesting stunts, you can survive it, but I threw caution to the wind and rode them all, even though they were snow covered. I also broke my camera and my phone and got a few bumps and bruises because of it.
I was hoping to ride it this year to see what it was like when it was dry, but I didn't get a chance. I only got up there once this year and rode 7th, upper and lower crippler, and espresso (which ate a brake lever off the big rock slab).
