my bike doesn't take static shotz. Although it's due for a replacement soon...

It's sub 40 with the hopes and Flows, so maybe I should put it back in the other thread.





cept here on the way home from a PA race last year.


Dave, when you coming back?

Speaking of the track, check out this rocket I found on the trail while digging last week. It was about a foot or two under the surface. I wonder how that got there.

Probably unexploded avalanche ordinance

no doubt, that section definitely smooths out with speed, especially with all the work done in the last 2 years. I remember years past though when that section didnt see much trail work and it was a lot rougher.

That thing used to be so scary to straightline through with the ruts. Landing int he middle is like hitting a pillow now since they cleaned it up for the race....last year I think?

Same with the second section with the two drops. Pretty much dancing between ruts on the landings. Now it's a highway.

Before any of that, REALLY long ago, the whole trail was 6" wide. Now you could take a 4x4 up it....

Way off. Telonix was named after the business located at the bottom of the hill where the trail lets out "telonix something something". It was named that in the late 80's/early 90's. It's been called Telonix since I first started riding Aliso/Laguna Canyons in '93.

Subtlety was obviously lost here...

The business name is called Telonic Berkeley actually. Make smoke meters and filters or O2 sensors or some such thing according to their website. Could have sworn the sign outside though says structural and civil engineering, but that might not apply to them.

Edit: I'm kinda curious how well the Telonix tire works on the actual trail.
