Loaded for bear. Phillips Ridge.

And a very creative solution to keep bikes from hitting each other.

And while pretty rad, I did feel like some of the DH features were built a little janky.

oh yea, they're a little janky. I think that will decrease as lines get worked in and speed checks aren't needed, like after riding it a few dozen times.

Another huge forest fire zone where the trails are still great.

I rode 60 miles out to the wind cancer farm and back. It was hot, windy, and the bonk threat on the return leg was real. I forgot to put sunscreen on my legs, so if wind mill cancer doesn't get me, skin cancer will. Also, my stomach is a wreck, I have zero desire to eat anything since I've been home.

They work for me?

Broken also for me. You're a bad person and you should feel bad.

 

[Toshi]

Don't work for me, either.

Try it meow?

Yep, you're still ugly.

Now it matches Strava. Much better. From a technical sense as FT notes.

 

[scrublover]

Wankers. Stop piling up rocks where they aren't needed!

Not so subtle reminder that DH bikes (even old ones) positivily destroy the absolute best endureau wagons if you're actually getting shit done on actual DH trails. Not undersprung or underdamped btw

PSA of the week - don't get near your rotors on the first run, even if you forgot your air pressure was around 95 psi per wheel.

Bugs are cool

So are micro-bears

How the hell am I supposed to ride my bike when there are all these blackberries to eat!!??

 

[rideit]

Wherever there are blackberries, there are usually bears.

That last ride in Northfield was the highlight. Thank you Dave Packie.

Climb was superb. Descent features are pretty sick but much like that zone a town to the west the soils are SO dry it was a loose dust fest. Will ride again after some rain.

Did that trail really cost 100k to build? Or is that for the entire area?

No idea about the budget for the area. There is more trail and will be more still to come.
It's really fun, but it will suffer from the same dry conditions as other trails in the area.

Great news everyone, I found Devil’s Club here too!

[Da Peach]

And yes, my bars are too wide.

 

[Toshi]

Centennial Cone, a ride that I will never do again. (Shit ton of climbing and boring trail with only very short fun segments. And hot. And exposed. And crowded.)

And yes, my bars are too wide.

Yup. Not sure I’d recommend it.

Is that how you trim your bars ? There are far more accurate ways, just so ya know...
