When we were out there Saturday working a family went by and they had a little girl , maybe 3rd or 4th grade. She rode by us and said real loud and happy "this is the best trail EVER!!" Somehow hearing her and seeing the smiles of her family mean alot to me as a dad and Honeybadger and KOM should be real proud. A trail that can make a little grom like her smile and a crusty old rider smile then that's cool. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Pulled out 4th place/37 in open men at the angelfire 5 DH Race this weekend. Missed 3rd by .8 seconds. Bittersweet. Awesome time!

Peddlers Pass Updated. I’m happy to hear most people (except Kyle) are enjoying the improvements on Peddlers Pass. We’re going to keep adding stuff until the summer heat slows us down. One thing I’m most excited about is the rollers are going to be one of the next things to be fixed. Hopefully they’ll never fill up with water again when we’re done. A word of warning...the configuration of the second set of rollers before the left hand berm will most likely change, they could be shorter, taller, wider, thinner, 3 instead of 4, we won’t know until we get in there with the machine and start working. But all the work will be done to make sure they don’t fill up with water anymore, which is a lot better than sticking with the way they are now. So no bitchin’ please. As has been mentioned before, the West side is not in its finished state yet. That probably won’t happen until the fall when the grass has grown back, it’s not as wide, the final tweaks are done, the trail has been ridden in, and it doesn’t look like a construction site anymore. So Kyle, have some patience, and try ridding it again in 6 months, or don’t cause IDK. The race is only a couple of weeks away (June 15th), if your on the fence about signing up for the race please do it. The more successful this race is the more likely the city is to allow other mountain bike stuff happen. Yesterday there was a mtb video shoot on the trail. The star of the video was the Woman’s Cat 1 National Champion, Ashley Green. The video is been made to promote the race. I’ll post a link to it when it’s finished.

Got a chance to ride the new and improved PP this morning. I contributed to one of the dig days, so I was really pumped to get the try it out. Let me first say, I’ve been riding the east side the opposite direction, and damn it’s much better this direction. IMO anyone who doesn’t like how PP stands today, versus 2 months ago, didn’t like PP then and won’t like it any time in the future. It’s incredibly improved everywhere. It was never a technical trail, but it’s still fun an can challenge you if you push yourself. That’s what it has always been and what it will always be.

We're in the process of building a new intermediate trail that is planned to have six wooden features: a step-up roller with a rollable jump at the end (pictured,) a multi-tiered wall ride that will end in an optional drop, a wooden drop to dirt transition, and three wooden tabletop jumps. You can see the first wooden feature from the lift and from the first mountain road intersection with Viper's Den. Trail length is estimated to be about 1'000 feet, and it'll exit on the second mountain road at Viper's Den. Scheduled completion time is six weeks.

Fixed it for ya

I haven't been in college in a long time. Well, unless you count the fact that I am in it now again to get retired healthcare, but that loophole ends at the end of this year. The whole CBD thread, combined with what I need to do in order to get healthcare reminds me of how screwed up this country is.

Rode Brushy today. Rode Peddlers today. Anyone complaining about that trail needs to pick up a shovel and get to work. This is the only trail in the area where we are getting new trail on a consistent basis and seeing the support of the city. Yeah, we get trail work at WC (I've done some myself this year) but it is not really adding much new trail (we got a bit of it over the past few years) but work now is mainly repairing trail from water damage and bonewipe riders. Somehow WillCo is doing a better job than CoA on supporting trails. Is it Bentonville? Not by a long shot. But Bentonville has a different terrain than we have, they have dirt, we have rock. Peddlers is fine and I am happy to have it, even if it does not feel like Slaughter Pens or the Back 40. Ride it. Love it. Live it.

My 2 cents, not that anyone asked! Prior to the new trail work I hardly ever rode PP. 1) because it always seem to be to wet and 2) i normally have limited time and prefer other sections at brushy! That being said since the new work has been done I rode it a day and half after a heavy rain due to people posting it was gtg thinking there’s no way and everything was good except the rollers on the east side! +1 for KOM! Still not my favorite trail and i still will not frequent it but I can say it is my 4 and 5yr old children’s favorite trail as it is the only trail they have ever ridden and they loved it! It’s a great trail for the right people and making it sustainable, so it will continue to be available for the foreseeable future is a step in the right direction.

Rode peddlers again today. Liked it even more today. There wasn’t any mud. No water in the rollers. The berms seemed smoother/faster. It’s getting better every time. Got a PR also. I’m impressed with all the work that’s been put into it. Good stuff!!

We appreciate the work that you guys do. Also, the land mass of WC is dramatically different from BC. But, that being said, it always feels like CoA is dragging its feet on us. I pay a shitload of taxes to live in the heart of the city and it always feels like we have to fight just to get existing stuff repaired. Thank god that we have ARR on top of the situation, imagine the desert without them.

My son and I just finished riding the new PP. We have waited riding for the last month+ while the trail work was being done. The 1st words out of my sons mouth was it was so worth the wait. PP is at an entirely new fun level. Don’t mind the new rocks surfaced either. Adds to the challenge. Well done HoneyBadger and the KOM crew and volunteers who made this trail even more awesome.

Took the old lady dog out to Walnut today. She doesn't see well any more, and she's slow but we had a great time.

That thing is completely Bucknered!

24 Hours of Rocky Hill night lap. I stopped as a huge snake was slithering across the trail. Another rider sees it and hollers out, WOOHOO! SNAKE!" as he bunny hopped it. I guess I did it wrong.

This is what happens when Juggernaut decides to ride MTB's

Wow, what is that in TheX's picture? A LEASH? Yes, I walk my dogs on leashes.

you’re it.

Hiking buddy at Ink's Lake.

Was here last weekend. Since we headed into the park both days at 9-9:30am, I was limited on time. Ended up doing all the Lajitas trails first and second day. Something like 1-2-3 on day 1. 3-4-5 on day 2. I decided not to go do the dome loop simply because I had 2 flats when I woke up on day 2. So I installed tubes, and had no more to bring on the ride with me. To play it safe I stuck with going back to lajitas trails because of its proximity to hike out if needed.

Today on the BCGB - It is a hog nose snake. He flattened his head and tried to look venomous at first. When I insisted he get off the trail his head shrunk as he was leaving. That is when I got the camera out.

College was a long time ago, things have gotten much better since then. Nobody is selling ditchweed CBD....

I was 15 when I saw this show at Winterland. Journey long before Steve Perry. Give it a listen and enjoy some BAD ASS guitar work.

There is lots to see, and I dig how remote it is. The Fresno Divide, Dome and Flatirons are all worthwhile. It's fun and fast. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
