    Is the crest good to go???

    YO, of corse it is! Rode a two for one today. Rode with bagtagly and my friend Jason west at 6:30 in the morning. Did a little vid. went home had some food and then did it again at 6:00 in the evening. I have to say the evening was sweet. Rode with Dantheman, Gunder, Lynx, Powderhore, and Altachic. We didn't see a single hiker, or biker all the way down mill D. Needless to say we rode as fast as we could. Here is a little vid from this morning.

    It's kind of crazy how much fun that ride is. For those who have never ridden it, the video barely does it justice... though the vid was sweet to see. Thanks for posting.

    Was a super fun ride last night. That time of day is so pretty for that ride, I love it.

    We thought Lynx and Gunder were never going to make it down, as they didn't show up to the car till 45 mins after you and korpi left...Lynx had major tire trouble I guess so she had to walk it the rest the way. Other than that, it was a great night with good people!

    And props to you Steve for climbing all that twice yesterday Oh, and that helmet cam stuff looks rad on the spine.
    you sketchy character, you

    Rode the Dog-Deso-Great Western this morning. Not too many people until the last two miles.

    Best to save those rides for early morning weekdays or late weekday nights. So many folks, feel guilty for pedalling fast.

    You should head to AF canyon. Me and Bushwacker rode 14 or so miles of it yesterday PM and saw 1 other biker, 3 people on horses, 2 moto guys, and 1 random hiker. This was on July 4th Saturday.....
    This is the worst pain EVER!

    but seriousally American Fork is a trail riders dream tons of fun stuff down there and cooler shaded terrain. All most all of the DHs down there are super fast and flowy.

    I already commented on the video on mtbr, but I might as well through something in here too. Awesome. I can't wait to get home and ride that bad boy. And bobsled. And the quarry trail. And Moab. Man I miss Utah.
    Thanks Shane

    My flight gets in at 6:30 so probably won't have time. Might head up and do a Bobsled or something, but I only have a single front ring still so I'll be pushing a lot

    That spine looks nasty, no?

    That said, let's plan on an evening lap sometime during OR in August.
