I always thought they might be good for extending rides and getting through long climbs (something we don’t have much of here), but i was surprised by what it really brought. Speed! It made riding suburban ninja almost as exciting as flying down spider mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyBadger Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 It's just three weeks until race day!!!! We've made a lot of improvements since the last race. The times should be at least 30 seconds faster. Go sign up. https://www.facebook.com/events/2354948434833999 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throet Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hit Double Down for the first time in over 6 months today, W-to-E. Sure was nice to be back! Trails were superb and I never encountered another soul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool to get a tour if that new area from you Sorry @Morris thought I had responded to this already. I'm ready when you are. Gonna head out this afternoon to check out the stuff closer to home, Snail /Rim / DD. I'm thinking most of that should be GTG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throet Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Rim, Picnic, 1/4, and DD were all good when I went out around 4:30. Usual few wet spots and a bit of slickness on some of the rocks. Should be smokin' mid-day tomorrow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain gauge shows a tad but right now everything appears wet and my front yard is soft. I’m going to head out now and see how the trails look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMTBrider Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 On Deception now. Trails is rideable with minimal dirt pickup on tires but damn these rocks are slick. I’d probably hold off on riding until the sun can evaporate this mornings condensation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Txduc Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 This afternoon 1/4, DD, Gnargasm, Snail and Peddlers were all great. Mulligan on the other hand had some serious mud right before the little climb on the fence line and in the usual spots after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotdurt Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 So trying to ease back into riding some, went over to the "new" peddlers for some low impact pedaling... Wow, someone's been hard at work! I guess it's been a couple of years since I rode it last (since finger recovery). Question though: I started the right direction at the entrance, and seemed to continue the correct direction (arrow signs facing me), until I reached the creek section closest to the eastern-most ball field parking lot, where I noticed some of the signs faced the other direction... I decided to just keep going, and once I passed back under Parmer, the signs were facing me again... I'm fairly certain I didn't jump-trail twice, but since many of the re-used segments reversed direction with the new trails and re-routes, it's possible that I did out of old habit... or are the signs backwards?

Do you have a Strava screen shot? I might be able to see if you jumped trail by accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I'm not a Strava-er. Next time I'm out, I'll take a pic if it happens again. I think 2 were bridges, at least one was.

No sign's should be backwards. The whole trail is now counter-clockwise. I'll check the signs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check the signs Now that I think about it, when i was out there on Saturday I came across a father and daughter going the wrong way. They said they saw an arrow pointing the other direction, so I had them take me to the spot. One of the paver arrows was turned and pointing the wrong direction so I fixed it. I didn't think there could be others that had been moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
