Maayong Pasko, Merry Christmas, to everyone. No riding pics this week as the family and I are on vacation and I haven't been feeling in peak health lately. So here are a few pics from our Christmas vacation instead.

Visiting my parents for the holidays and this gem is like 10k of mainly bike paths and fireroads away. A little wet and slow rolling ATM but it is sooooooo fun! :banana:

You still ride glove-less when it is so chilly?
yeah...unless it’s below 40. i actually put on a pair of normal/non winter gloves i brought today when i got to the top of the climb and i swear it made my hands colder. took em off at the bottom of the first descent and was good again.

squeezed out a trail ride and a pump track session in between the rain. 67*. HELLZ YEAH. trails were muddy as fuck but it was great to see people out there riding them. i’ll fix what needs to be fixed next weekend when the rain stops.

F***ing hell, cool non-official DH spot that I used to ride at when younger looks pretty destroyed. Most trails are blocked and jumps are sketchy because of vandalism by I guess rangers. :disgust1: :rant:

Nothing a motivated crew of scofflaw delinquents couldn’t clean up...
That is what we used to do. After I moved away the spot did grow for a while but maybe got too much attention that way. It doesn’t help that it is located really close to town and next to a posh neighborhood. :panic:
Not sure what happened to the builders. :confused:

In hell. Welcome!
... aaand that's a wrap of 2018. Trails were soft, slow and mysteriously slippery today. Add tired legs and I am glad I've done a little over 7 miles, mostly singletrack.

About 150m higher than where I snapped my chain yesterday... then discovered that my oneup edc chain tool sucks.
Funnily enough, I was there yesterday too, and with a brand new, never been used Park chain tool in my pack; brand new because the pin in the old one snapped a couple of months ago when I needed it on a road trip. I agree with @johnbryanpeters at least when it comes to Park chain tools. Why did I buy another one? Because it was cheap.

Not a fan of that chain tool, as in virtually every multi-tool chain-tool is better with more leverage and longer threaded pin-pusher thing. I have one. Not sure what to do with it.
