A great spot to be on a bike.

Have you ridden Roots and Rocks at West Mag? You'll love it.



Haha, I don't understand the root thing either. But having lived in Vermont and Colorado, I'll stay in Colorado.



Yep!

I'd certainly ride that trail, and in fact I ride one weekly that is a dead ringer for it. But it's definitely not glorious to me. Different strokes.

Great ride tonight in Nederland.

I'm gonna ride West Mag tomorrow. One of us is winning.

sure sure sure, "first ride there ever", we believe you.

Wait what? The title of that pic, you were where?

Nice ride in Summit County playing hooky today.

Tonight's ride. Good to get out, but this smoke blows goats.

It definitely rides better that way, but I usually ride it the other direction, because it works better that way as a connection for me given what I normally ride, and it's a nicer and prettier climb...

The excitingly named New 34!

That's the best ride I've ever done, the scenery is too amazing

So much good riding there. Still mad at myself for not really being a mountain biker when I lived there 25 years ago; started riding regularly shortly after I moved away. Doh!

Back in my summer happy place.

Been doing a lot of solo rides this summer, so just bikes leaning against stuff for pics. But wildflowers have been going off for weeks in my happy place.

Love biking up there.

A few more from the trip now that I have had time to regroup

The climb out was GREASY

The drive on Mineral Bottom Rd to the highway was really sloppy, I think this bit did the most...

It was probably 70/30 type one/two split. No type 3 at all.

First two days/nights had decent weather, day/night 3 was the problem. And getting out on day 4.

Wet muddy mess on the White Rim this past weekend.

I'm not a shuttle monkey. AT ALL. But I resemble one on the uphills. Especially on my way to Burro Pass.

this thread consistently kills it.

I made up the term on the spot. Or maybe I read it here earlier, I can't remember. Stupid weed.

Normally, I too am in a ride for the DH. It's why I ride West Mag all the time yet never ride any of the "normal" stuff, I am only in it for the climb/descent. This is pretty much the one ride of...

I believe leaftards is the preferred nomenclature.

Google Maps says 19 minutes. So 38 minutes RT. So we're both wrong.

Again, it was a TUESDAY, there was no shitshow, just more people than a normal Tuesday.

And the Georgia Pass/Jefferson...

Ummm, I'm the one new to this mt biking thing? It was a Tuesday, FFS, what kind of shitshow do you think there was? Sure, it was WAY crowded for a Tuesday, but it was still ... wait for it .. a...

I didn't die. We didn't make it all the way to Jeff Crk, my buddy had a time constraint that had us turn around somewhere after lunch rock but before treeline. So just a straight out and back. Twas...

Went on a solo ride tonight, so decided to snap a few pics. Leaves are turning.

And if you're not into that kind of thing... What the fuck is wrong with you?

Agreed.

And that dude is also a damn good rider, the stuff he cleaned while being all jacked up and riding flats on clipless was impressive.

Heh, saw that video yesterday. Saw a quick shot of what I thought was a chasing epic vehicle, then a few references to Steve.

Bastard waited until just when I stopped before snapping the pic

No, it wasn't. As an outside observer, I was kind of shocked that you read into it what you did, and continue to do so even after he said that wasn't his intent.

I was there 10 days ago. Fucking awesome place. I enjoyed driving the support vehicle as much as riding, one can do no wrong there IMO.

more importantly, how did that dirt feel?

that pic reminds me, years ago I was delivering furniture (my crap job at the time) and we saw a classic brown NF sign that gave various distances to certain locations, and one of them was "Nipple...

this thread always delivers

klar, get some gloves!

That is the goods right there.

deal. Wait, what?



I'd certainly agree with not trying to crash! But IME, a person who is new to the sport and trying hard not to crash will a) like the sport less, and more importantly b) be...

Where were you when I needed sound advice?

I finger with the best of them!

No, that was the end result of getting overconfident on run #5 of my only DH day ever (Sol Vista), where I attempted one of the small gap jumps at the bottom. ...
