went for a ride on galbraith.... ahhhh

dwaugh · Mar 21, 2005

What was your route? I cant tell where you were from the pics...

seand · Mar 21, 2005

i know the line you took.

i used to use that line all the time to finish off my days... nice choice

how is chutes these days? last time i was there (1 year+) it was all gone and/or ready to fall down....

HippieKai · Mar 21, 2005

you need to get your own bikes!

seand · Mar 21, 2005

there used to be a trail called "huck it" after shawns trail. you came out shawns and headed left (away from chutes). on the right by a big log/tree a little ways up the road was a trail...this was actually quite a fun trail and led to another fun trail with a good sized (8 footer) ladder drop to natural tranny..dont know if that is still there, but if it is, its another way to get out back to galby lane...

and yeah, i always called that other trail you were talkinga bout "lower chutes" because i dont know its name

dwaugh · Mar 21, 2005

That one after chutes is a trail that really doesnt have a name is kinda weird. I've been on that one, huck it, a while ago and saw that drop. I dont know it it is there anymore. Chutes is messed up, there are fallen trees across the trail and some ladders that were remaining were destroyed somehow, I dont know who did it. Basically, chutes is not an open trail right now, take lost giants instead. If you want to me to lead you on a good ride sometime I'll do it. We never went on that ride that one time, and then you lost your bikes the next week.

seand · Mar 21, 2005

we MAY be coming up on friday if you want to go for a ride with us

should I bring a big bike or my hardtail? i dont know what galby is like anymore...

thoughts?

Roasted · Mar 21, 2005

Kona looks f-ing huge now man. I don't think you know how long it has been since I saw him last. Cute as ever.

Can't wait to get my brakes up here.

(thanks)

I'd say hardtail. When on friday?

be there at 9am friday? will that work for you? if i cant get my hardtail built up, im stuck on my fr/dh bike which will be super slow. but if slcpunk21 is riding slow, then we are set!

let me know if this will work for you!

dwaugh · Mar 22, 2005

School gets out at 2:15.... I can do 3:00 but sounds like you can't.

seand · Mar 22, 2005

oh man, but 3 will will be gone

ahhh well...

i found out that for some reason we have off from work on friday...then im told its good friday...heh okay.

so i figured friday is a good day for galby; should be pretty empty.

ill just follow along the trails i used to hit up and see if i notice anything new..

can you suggest anything i should ride? i plan on going up to wonderland for sure...is scorpion worth riding? how bout kungfu->911?

exciting

dwaugh · Mar 22, 2005

Do wonderland, naughty nellie, keystone, oly, 2 1/2, kung fu, 911,and you decide from there. :thumb:

seand · Mar 22, 2005

keystone is alive again? i remember when that was un-rideable. SWEET!

thanks for the tip!

It's just a visual effect of that pic I think cause SHE hasn't grown much. Kona is gonna naw on your leg next time for calling her a him.

P.s. Littlestinky wants pictures of Kona with the penguin (spelling?)

Get HER too...that would be cute.

You mean these. I have larger copies I can pm you with later.

It is now mostly a clearcut trail. I never rode it before it was clearcut, but it is ont onf my favorite trails how it is right now. I suggest the line that I suggested. Its good. :monkey:

i call bs everyone knows you dont ride

ahh, the best xc rip from the galbraith lane side imho. watch our for the first log on the new oly if it is wet. tires don't grip too well on it :dead:

scorpion/evolution/whatever the heck it is called now is sick. the whole trail has been reworked probably since the last time you were there. take the second left at the top (stepdown into burm) and then stay left, find the kicker, and give'r. also, 911 is really fun right now (although nothing like the old trail). and if all goes according to plan, just wait a few months for 911 to become the premier trail on the mtn

i will say that galby is the best that it has ever been in the 6 years i have been riding there, and leaps and bounds better than it was when the chainsaws came out (whimps and loggers). I passed up a vedder ride a couple weeks ago for a rip on galby, and don't regret it at all :cool:

seand · Mar 23, 2005

rosifer - you have me really looking forward to friday! sweet!!!

slc - check your PM box...we can both be slow-asses

911 used to be awesome. i used to love sitting and watching people eat poo off the a-frame from kungfu->911/crazy8s and then in the rock garden entrance for 911...

there was also a jump trail that stsarted just beyond the firepit trail...is that still around? it was short, but was fun.

ill have to give scorpion/evolution a go and see whats up...

is it really only 2pm? pffft

dwaugh · Mar 23, 2005

I've heard that the trail after the fire pit is a small jumps trail, but I havent checked it out because El Pollo is better.

seand · Mar 23, 2005

how can el pollo be better if you never checked the other out?

the jump trail is short and when you come out, head left..go up the road and eventually you will wind up back at the trailhead for kungfu...then you can head down el pollo...

check it out some time...

SuperSlow · Mar 23, 2005

its fun to hit the jump trail then race down the death climb

Dont be a Galbraith kook!! Every trail deserves to be checked out just for the sake of being adventurous and being a mountain biker. I know from reading this forum that you cant jump and have no intention of ever learning, and have read your negative thoughts on trails like scorpion, shawns, 911 and it sounds like you probably have'nt rode those either. You not checking out these trails is totally your loss, but dont sway other people that are interested just cause your not open minded to progression and adventure!

went for a ride on galbraith.... ahhhh
