Ute Valley. Specifically, the "black" side of Blue and Black Loop.
Bah, that was my first guess but figured PP was closer to your house. Ute is fun!
Palmer is basically in the back yard, but it holds snow and mud longer, and the mud is HORRIBLE in Palmer, so I opted for Ute yesterday, and Austin Bluffs on Saturday.
What are all those marks on the sides? Waddlers w/o droppers that slide forward and try to chew the sides of the trail off w/feet?Brutal soft conditions tonight. Pretty much like riding a skinny the entire time. Good core workout
F-me, this is what our trails look like:
Yeah, they do that here, and they punch holes in the trail and chew off the sides.
No, it's a reflector that marks the trail so skiers can go in and set it after a big snow. Fell out of a tree.

They passed a right to disconnect law over here a few months back meaning you don't have to address work calls or emails after work hours.
Got two texts at 6AM asking if I'd come in, I got up at 9AM, got a haircut then went for a ride.

Quick ride up the hill. Moms zipping by me on their ebikes… 1.5 children in tow.
Trail/road maintenance via backhoe and steamroller (is imba on duty?
)
Got yelled at like it was a dh race coming down the hill. Admittedly, I was hauling on a pretty tech trail. Heard a “Vouah! Allez!!” Just off trail, couldn’t look and just kept it moving… but that was unexpected and brought a smile.

Though it looks to be an older one. Had one that worked well/lasted quite a few years before breaking in a crash.
That's it. It's a Trident X or something. Recommended by someone here.Cygolite Bike Lights

Have had it for years and it hasn't missed a beat. Battery lasts a long time too, I just run it on full blast.
It's not quite as bright as some lights out there now, but no complaints and I know it'll always work.
Mine was a very similar looking model, as well as one of their helmet lights. They were great until they finally died. Would still be using them otherwise. I'd imagine their new stuff is on par with most other stuff out there.
Short ride on the way home from up north today.
Started the ride without my thumb splint, but I think all the boot holes at the start really beat on it; had to put it back on and felt great after. Don't want to rely on it though...
Anyways lots of snow up north and it's turned solid after some mild temps this week. Solid enough to use the edges as little berms.
This part was so sketchy. Downslope with water running over ice, on bare rock. Studs didn't do shit
