  1. I checked it out yesterday. Pretty great for what it is ~ 9 mile xc race loop with basically zero rocks. You can get super fast on some of the straightaways. lots of nice turns. And plenty of challenging berms. On the back side there is a section built by KOM with some pretty cool features, but i found it hard to carry speed through. i would need to session it before i really trusted those berms. This seems to be Todd Eric's baby for now. He said its his buddy's property. It is not generally open. He's been opening it up Saturday morning's when Todd can make it out there to supervise. They need to get more tires on the dirt to help bed in the trails. There is a group on the facebook that seems to have the most up-to-date info.
  2. this seems awesome. Gonna try to make it if i'm in town. Thanks for sharing.
  3. i was being cheap, when i finally swapped my rear, and i was like: woah, so much more confidence braking on the downhills. i realized i had waited too long.
  4. I rode this morning, and BMX loop was clear of any camps.
  5. It looks like your bike's about to go for a swim.
  6. do yall know what year they closed Forrest Ridge for the warbler? (never got to ride there, but live in the area and hike it often)
  7. BCGB 1998, brought my sister's giant iguana from home to ride. Had a blast. That bike lasted about 5 rides on the greenbelt. as soon as i got out of school and had a job, I bought my Gary Fisher Sugar. Full Sus ever since.
  8. its mostly time/exhaustion level.. if its' less than 20 minutes, i pretty much always ride to the ride. but if i want to ride to the greenbelt its about an hour each way. that turns a 3 hour ride into a 5 hour ride. and i know i'll be destroyed after, even if i'm in good shape. so i need to plan my day appropriately.
  9. i know alot of us are using the Outbound Hangover for helmet, due to its wide field. It is on the expensive side if you'd like a similar profile to the Shenkey, I'd recommend the Nightrider Micro 900 or 850. These can be found on sale for cheap and provide great power/weight.
  10. interesting. thanks for the heads up. Here's the trailforks: https://www.trailforks.com/region/chad-alan-foster-memorial-trail-system-47040/?activitytype=1&z=14.3&lat=35.66850&lon=-101.40380

  12. i know they've been on Strava for years. So it makes sense that they've been built up over time. I don't have any personal experience.
  13. is thumper cleared to ride? or it needs more work?
  14. This is exciting news. Can't wait to ride it in the correct direction! but seriously, it will be interesting to see how everything flows. and all the fun downhills will be terrible climbs again.
  15. The North Walnut Creek trail extension is now open. It takes you under Lamar and ends at Oakbrook and Cedarbrook - Walnut Bluffs Trailhead. So not ideal for crossing I35. but still its pretty great. and it turns out there are more trails on that side.
  16. If you are looking for light: POC VPD Air https://na.pocsports.com/products/joint-vpd-air-knee?variant=35593016377510
  17. i was out there last week, the trails are mostly still there, but it is certainly more broken up/confusing that previously. Also, they are actively building road/sidewalks so it was a bit sketchy. would maybe recommend riding on the weekend to avoid construction. i have always parked near the randalls, more specifically on the dead end of Raindance.
  18. i assume this will disrupt most of the ninja sections closer to the creek? let;'s hope things go more smoothly then when they paved the section through peddlers pass.
