i go with nearly bald, just a few grey-red hairs left
I think you need to invert the bald/hair zones.
Kinda like Smithers but lusting after Musk instead of Burnswhat did i look like in your head?
I've actually just assigned everyone Simpsons or Futurama characters.

You're a good looking wee lad Seth. So why so insecure?
FWIW I've a full head of salt n pepper hair heading greyer by the hour but still no sign of baldness as yet.
The only ginge in the family ironically came from my English grandmother (Dad's Mother). It dodged me but got one of my children. The rest of us are all dark brunettes in hair colour.
what did i look like in your head?
with all the ebike, cappuccino and vacation talk......
Here's one from last week
And here's one of me and Jackalope today after a birthday (54!) ride to fuck with toodles system

I took the hardtail and my fullface helmet to ride some rocky stuff today. No cell phone reception and being alone, I now wear my FF and bring my Zoleo device. Passed a few riders who were walking sections and looked at me like if I was from another planet (I did not have my mandatory enduro bike and half shell to clearly state that I am an experienced mountain biker TM). I don’t like selfies so here are just pictures of my bike in the forest and on a bridge.
I'm sure there are thousands of bridges like that in QC, but is that VBN?
Did you ever ride the double black trail that was an additional climb off of Neilson East? I wonder why it's gone now... it was nice and steep, little spicy in the wet.
Mad Max (named after my friend Maxime who built it)?
I rode it a few times before it disappeared, but they had to close it because of an environmental concern (frogs area). I rode Neilson North + South yesterday and returned by the trails on the right side of the river... I did not remember that 30km loop to be that exhausting
I need to get back into shape!

I need to get back into shape!Yeah Mad Max is it! It was nice and loamy too. I remember learning how bad my Sram Guides were on that trail.Mad Max (named after my friend Maxime who built it)?

Poor frogs.
Neilson North has that one semi long climb out in the open that tires me out - perhaps related is that it's always been crazy hot when I've gone. But I think it also takes more effort to ride that loop, doing single track all the way vs taking the road like how it used to be. There are some steep little punchy climbs on the way out to where the fun starts on Neilson North.
I think this was on Mad Max. The soil was so nice up there, didn't look like it had been ridden much.

Drop at new park into step up...rode like crap but knew that when I got up..when you go to grab something and your foot moves not your hand.....you know brain and nervous system are disconnected lmao ..it was one of those days..almost ate shit off a drop and section took bars to balls and somehow managed to 2 legged hop with back end of bike in air and pull out of it ..shit newbies called me New....
your camera needs to arrive in the 21st century
Lol wasn't mine. Was a buddies GoPro 360...I've got a Sony a7r ii and do most of my pics with a Samsung phone..
Rode Bolton and Sugarbush this weekend. I really enjoy both but it was my first time at Sugarbush and I really loved that place.
sometimes you carry the bike up before you ride it down
huh?
I’m dying to get up to Bolton Valley. Looks great. I honestly didn’t know Sugarbush was doing lift riding besides the occasional race.
germans aren't the strongest species, it's okay
This was my second trip to Bolton, personally I do really like it but it does have a 'personality'. The trails in the woods are pretty fun tech but they don't flow super well. What I mean by that is there are some flat sections that somewhat interrupt your runs. Also, the middle of the mountain is super wet most of the time, there are lots of springs flowing throughout that place.
Yeah Sugar was an excellent surprise, they must be terrible at marketing the park. They have quite a few big runs down that mountain that were wet but the dirt drains great in almost all areas. Had a blast riding that place, it feels like a proper big mountain, almost like some of my time in the Alps. It is almost 100% tech trails that keep you rolling the whole time, not sure I took a pedal stroke all day.
Absolutely, f that noise.Now we're talking.
Leave the flow trails to the instagramers.
now you've got me rethinking trying to join @Sandwich there later this fall
Would love to drink beer/ride bikes with you again. Sugarbush is one of my favorite riding memories- the DH race run in post-rain mud was hilarious, treacherous, and giggle-inducing.
@manhattanprjkt83 DH bike for sugarbush?
Absolutely, no question.
Bolton - I would say an enduro bike might be more fun for the trail characteristics there. All 3 of us rode DH bikes this weekend and had the same opinion.
There's a jump trail at the end of this one but the video from that day isn't as good they were doing some trail work.

I would do that, shit I will be back up that way this fall for a 5 day trip. Maybe I'll finally meet some of you guys. Would almost be weird after 20 years on this forum.
I’d be game depending on when it is.
