Pisgah delivering the goods...fuck, I'd forgotten how well damped and tractional a DD Aggressor is. Lovely, cool morning for exploding loam
Didn't see one on the trail, but caught one in the driveway about to eviscerate the car after I got back.

Sweet Jesus it was hot this AM. Zero good pics of me, but got some good rock smashing action shots of my buddy on my old bike
See what I mean about no good pics of me riding?

From my second ride of the day:
he seems to be liking the fork. I introduced him to some harder trails though, so it's hard for him to tell the difference.

What's going on there? Has the One Up spider fallen apart, or the ring?
I think the quick change chain ring requested an unplanned quick change
Not really sure... I dont like most of them to be honest. Too sandy and some turns are tight in the trees.
Kill list
Upon closer inspection, the “switch” system only friction fits the chainring to the spider. The bolts don’t actually go through any holes.
When I bottomed out, my chainring rotated “backwards” on impact, and became “unpinched”.
I also bent it out of shape, so it is now trash.
I had an older one lying around still, so I’m rolling again.
Nodootabootit
Not during the ride, but had to drop anchor because a smaller version of this behemoth was center trail this AM. Black bears definitely matter at 28 mph
The sand is a pain, but it does keep you on your toes. I don't mind it once in a while, but could not ride it constantly.
I would have to say, the top of 8 and the bottom of 7, linked.
You avoid the awkward wooden drop on 7 and the sandy super tight tree shit on the bottom of 8. 4 is fun, but the spacing is weird. Probably come up one more time this summer.
Would like to put together a road-trip to Bromont end of August, but the required distancing, multiple vehicles etc will probably make this a total pipe-dream. It would be a blast, but I think the logistics of trying to keep everybody distanced and safe would overwhelm pretty quick.
Yeah 8 is nice. Is 7 the one with the stepup?
They had something new going on, on the very right side of the hill, on the kids ski slope. Looks like a dual slalom track.....
I'd at least try for Bromont. I have a few friends who have gone and had no issues.
After the boardwalk bit, 8 starts with the berm into step-up, then table, dropping triple whoop, then the drop into the ravine. 7 starts with the ladder drop, then swoops through the woods to the wooden bridge drop into the ravine.
Yup, keeping fingers crossed for Bromont.
so GREEN ...
yep. Wet spell just ended. Prime conditions this week.
Long ass road ride in ludicrous heat to clear the ol’ noggin.
Scoped the new “expert” line they’re adding to the bike park, looks a bit gnarlier than I’d expect from a city managed bike park, five stars, will case every jump when they reopen
