I tried that several times and kept ending up ass over elbows at the last boulder. It feels so good when you get it first try w-E. I'm typically about 50/50 on getting it. One time I was riding with guys incredibly fit and I threw up a few things III message earlier in the ride. When we got to this feature I cleaned it and none of them could get it after a few tries. Total redemption! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMTBrider Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Few things to point out... 1. As of right now trails are too wet to ride and will likely need all of today before they’re good to go. 2. You’re going to start seeing some changes to 1/4 Notch and Double Down to address the bypasses and trail widening that has occurred. There are some bypasses that will be left, a couple that Tommy and I blocked off today. More work to be done, so if you want to volunteer stay tuned! 3. I appreciate people going in and trimming face slappers but if it’s 2+” in diameter please reach out to me before cutting it. Somebody took a big branch down (see pic) to open an easier line in an area that was already easy. Now its wide enough to fit a car through. Just don’t muck with it. Also, huge thanks to Tommy (Cafeend) for the help this morning! Edited December 20, 2020 by GreenMTBrider 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total redemption! Yesssss... to this and the other posts about The Cradle. I used to ride the slot back in the day and just kinda hit it with speed. Now I go high right and come down then hard right through trees and on... but this day I just hit it wrong by about 1-2” and that was it..I had decent speed and legs going in, just jammed it and fell over, haha. Hand is fine now. I’m gonna float up that bitch next time... but I’ll pay somewhere else probably. 😜 Long Live the Trail!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throet Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Went out for a ride around 11 thinking the trails would be primo, but I was in for a slippery surprise from the start. Rode Rim and the first part of DD going W-E and it was quite adventurous. So I skipped over to 1/4 Notch thinking that the extra exposure to the sun would make it better, but wrong again. Sections throughout the entire trail were slicker than greased owl shit. Funny how good of a workout you get when you're riding slow and steady, tensed up for an hour. Called it quits and headed home after that. EDIT: Wife informed me there was a dense fog advisory in effect until 10am this morning. That stuff is worse than rain on the limestone!

GreenMTBrider Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Yea I was about to say... 1/4 was good yesterday but once that fog rolled in everything got soaked. Definitely makes for a spicy ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Ok that explains why it was slicker today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First-Blood Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Where do y'all park for a night ride?In[mention=165]GreenMTBrider[/mention] driveway....Not literally but basically. In the cul de sac of Dodge Cattle Dr by the East trail head of ¹/⁴ notch. Another good option is on the street at the top of hall rd which is the name of the dirt double track that separates the west end of Double Down trail head and the start of 5.0 (R.I.P) Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRider3141 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Unpopular opinion. I keep reflectors on my bike, at least my kids bike and my HT. I ride around the neighborhood, often at night, I like the extra visibility. If they fall off on 1/4 notch then I consider it a badge of honor.

manuels61 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Anyone else out at brushy today see a guy on red bike and silver helmet swerving all over the dam trail, looked to be a nice bike then as I started to pass him I noticed that he had riser bars that were completely upside down [emoji23][emoji23][emoji2357] and I thought no wonder he can’t keep that thing straight!

RedRider3141 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Rode SN/ church today, great conditions but a little slimy on the rocks due to the weird fog humidity thing going on this morning. Also, checked out a bit of Gandolf, super fun! Bad news, while taking a break, I could clearly see the cedars wafting their potent powder as the wind blew. 👎 Looked like this... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
