unfortunately, i believe the answer is no. there are some smaller pump tracks around, but nothing that great.

something needs to be done, this is the last weak link on the hike/bike trail. With how great the boardwalks turned out, i'm all for this. We pay for plenty of stuff we never get to use. i'd much rather pay for this, even if it is expensive.

everyone knows you can't dirt jump with front brakes. it will never work.

i have a old 26" L marin hawk hill frame you can have, its pretty solid, was given to me, but the headtube is too long for my fork. its yours if you want it.

i think it may advertise something like that, but i wouldn't do it. maybe if the trail were perfectly buffed.

23 front DHF EXO / 29 rear Aggressor DD i prefer 25 in the rear, but kept getting pinch flats. i moved away from cushcore, because i found it impossible to remove the tires on the trail. so, in the unlikely event something does happen, you're pretty much screwed. about 200lbs and tend to jump alot.

Looks like they did update their hours this weekend: Friday-Sunday 8 am - 4 pm

i believe the Niner demo is actually on Friday 11/15. https://www.facebook.com/events/831864320549768/ and it looks like Rocky Mountain is Saturday and Sunday 11/16 and 11/17. https://www.facebook.com/events/970878706606402/

so do you think surb ninja as we know it will no longer exist? or the two will run side by side, kind of like picnic and the pavement next to it?

the same problem exists for shuttle runs: https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/213526947-Remove-segments-for-shuttling-uplifts ignoring segments would be a relatively easy option for strava to add, but they don't seem interested.

The Strava Segment shows 2.76 miles. The route hasn't changed really since summer time, maybe a few extra turns near the road. it shouldn't be shorter. https://www.strava.com/segments/20095958?filter=overall

Thanks for sharing the ride reports.

Santa Cruz Demo November 17, 2019 @ 11:00 am – 4:00 pm Bicycle Sport Shop, Parmer https://www.bicyclesportshop.com/events/events-calendar

pretty sure they are just for comfort. i do not wear a cap, so the pads make the plasticy bits more comfortable.

Inks lake state park is a great place to camp/swim/boat/fish. the trails are not really long enough to bother bringing a bike.

FYI, if Flat Creek is closed, just ride Perdernales Falls. Its right next door and has about 30 miles of trails.

i would assume you need a long bed to use the insta-gater?

i just put my bike in the truck bed.

if you are headed to deception, then you can take Lakeline/Neenah west and then a right on Staked Plains which dead ends into a trailhead. if you are headed to peddlers pass, then Parmer would certainly be the fastest route.

Thanks for the heads up! Hopefully the bikes are ok 😉

Also, there are also a number of downed trees crossing the trail, but seems like these were left of purpose. just have to ride over them. on the climb out, there is power line (not hot) hanging down across the trail, but its easy to avoid. i meant to go back and get the tower number, but haven't had a chance. one big plus - the creek is completely dry, so i was able to ride all the creek crossings for the first time.

i enjoyed riding all the ibis range during their last demo day, including the Mojo 3. its a capable trail bike. i would check with cycle progression or velorangutan to see if they have a demo available.

Thanks for sharing. i was not aware of this policy. sounds like the check-in people are not particularly aware of it yet either.

not sure about brushy specifically, but bmx pegs can cause a lot of damage on unarmored coping. Also, the liability is greater for bikes.

Regarding Gilligan's Playground, not sure if it helps, but here's our ride from a few weeks ago. Seemed like we found most of what's out there, but i don't remember seeing a boat. https://www.strava.com/activities/2736283130 I really liked the jump line, found it much more approachable than the one behind peddlers.
