First alpine ride of the year
Ok these are both a wee bit long but...
First video shows soaring vistas and glorious alpine singletrack winding through the thrush. Listen to the warbling songbirds. Glory in the red lupins. I worked some Metallica in there though so that's the redeeming quality and then mixed in Donna Summer "I Feel Love" .

Shuttling radgnars will want to skip to the second video. 1100 m downhill over 2.2 km. Very very fast. Note that we slowed down for every hiker and that the only people we ran over was each other.

That first trail is really cool looking, the second one indeed has some fast sections.
I am really liking the backpack cam. Are you gonna bring those on your summer road trips?"The skis just popped me up out of the snow and I went screaming down the hill on a high better than any heroin junkie." She Ra

The music for the second video is Royskopp - Alpha Male. Did it not work?

Royskopp's music and beats are so wildly appropriate for biking - its good stuff

well I've ridden this trail about 6x in the last 4 years and posted pics of it a lot. It's new toy syndrome.
