My new helmet arrives today. If it fits I will make sure I am free Thursday night.

When it was tighter, it had a shark fin exit over the pipe and the pipe was mostly covered. But that feature killed exit speed. A double was built a little after the berm and we needed more speed to clear it. Check out the Ditch Loop Trail Work thread in the Trail Maintenance folder for the...

The trail is built on old Ag land. probably cattle. There are pipes running everywhere. The old trail crosses or parallels the pipes a few times. They are the spirit of the trail. I made the conscious decision to leave as much of the pipe as I could and work around it. I cut out a few that were...

Like @the bodj said and from what little I remember, I checked up a bit on this drop. The landing unsettled my bike or bounced the back end which had me correcting (trying to gather it up) as I was trying to slow for the berm at the bottom of the landing. I ended up going into the berm way to...

Not the first "long term loss of short term memory" the wife has dealt with. I didn't go into repeat mode so it was better than many. :LOL:

Thanks for helping me out of there and for talking to the wife. I am glad you were there. That night and the next morning were rough. My brain came back mid day Friday. Still have a sore neck / back and left shoulder. Not looking forward to trying to find a new helmet that fits my giant head.

Let me see how work goes today. Friday, I have morning stuff for sure but might free up in the afternoon.

Congratulations! What you did on the Kona was amazing to watch, I can't wait to see your progression on a modern bike. The funny thing is some of my favorite trails were probably 30-40 min from him in Idyllwild. And from what I have seen from a few locals, there is great winter riding out of...

Did a few smaller (9ish mile laps) while up in Idyllwild. The rock spacing didn't agree with the 20mm pedal extensions I run. Kept to the "Dark Zone" up by Pine Cove this trip.

I did that on a piece of plywood over my folded down seats in the Megacab for a few trips. I could fit two xl 27.5 bikes in the cab.

You were ripping out there.

The new status with 170mm looks real good. One of the local ripper kids showed up yesterday on his brand new one. Sounds like a great deal for what you get.

That shirt is not very flattering. No wonder my wife hates it :ROFLMAO: . Flattering... more like fattening. Thanks for coming out and taking pics. I am always willing to do laps. Let me know when. I don't plan on ever bringing in all the gear again unless I do the work to open up a route for...

I missed the post in time to answer for the ride party, but for future. I have never tried it but I think it would be fine on parts of the trail. Other parts are fairly steep and I would worry about only having a rear brake. I think the lower line would be fine / fun on a DJ.

Great ride! Glad I was able to make it happen.
