It's a fat bike set up with 29er wheels and a drop bar. I call it a monstertour. And it's black and was there last night from dusk to about 7. Same bike you were riding at WC? I don't remember it having drop bars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it’s cool to see cars and trucks in the area with bikes on the back headed to the Sports Park. Kinda crazy really. Had a nice nostalgic ride yesterday. Temps were unreal and dirt was choice. Somehow I managed to ride pretty slowly but keep nice flow AND have alot of fun. I was remembering things like the days when all we had were loppers and garden hoes. Lol. That’s the first maybe .5 to .67 miles or so of East Deception...the skinny single track...then the McLeods arrived. That's the kind of nostalgic story telling Brian was looking for this morning... Eric could only tell his side, then talk crap about you to balance it out, haha 😆 I tried to defend you, but I wasn't part of the interview... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has undergone some changes. I used the Salsa Fargo as inspiration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode a borrowed Kona with drop bars a few yrs ago when I was between bikes. It was so much fun. They guy who owned it painted it brown and called it dirty poo. It was a blast out there.Man if that was you..you were killing it brotherSent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Erica talked about how much he loves gnar and how much I like lycra. Lol. It’s all true! Those were great times though. Admittedly, I built that (helped build) trail for me and me alone. I can’t lie. Seeing others enjoy it is now a side bonus. I was so selfish and short-sighted then. I was starving. Yesterday I saw all the cheater lines, muttered the word “pussies” but just kept riding. I’m humbled by people like ronan(sp) and josh and all the others I’m failing to mention who have done nothing but help keep things sick. It has grown to be something of which I know we’re all proud. Long live the trail! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4fun Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 Any trail reports? Storm blew through my neighborhood around 11 last night, but not sure how much rain. I’ll go check it out around 9:30 if I don’t see anything before then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Yeah, it rained pretty hard for a short time. Had some hail in it also. I would think the rocks are gonna be slick as sh*t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenMTBrider Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Yikes. Last night I check rain accumulations and it showed nothing, this morning it shows half an inch here. I’m out of town enjoying a 5 year anniversary with the misses, so I’m unable to check the trail, but it’ll be slick for sure. Let us know how things look if you head out there.

Yosmithy Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 It was a short storm last night, but really heavy rain (including some hail). I would be very surprised if the trails were in riding conditions this am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that’s what I was thinking, may roll the regional trail or (I’m getting sick of doing this) jump on the road bike😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyyhorn Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Just walked up from the sports park to peddlers west and there is standing water in the roller section. With that being said, the soil didn’t look as soft as I expected so the trails may dry quickly. I’ll see what tomorrow brings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives it as much time as possible for a 3hr ride. Windy too so hoping that helps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windy too so hoping that helps. I rode Deception W-E and was on the look out for a lycra-clad, eightball-looking dude on a black Troy. Must have missed you! It was fabulous out there. Scored a PR on Deception without even trying, and also while dodging quite a bit of oncoming traffic. I'm going back out tomorrow afternoon for sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
