Go forth and ride, then bring back pics

From today 45 miles in December, perfect weather

Had to drop off the Tacoma in St. Helena for some body work last week.
While I waited, I went for a ride.
Rode up to Angwin, dropped Teepee Trail and descended Dan's Wild Ride back into town.

Riding from my house to here takes abput 30 minutes.

Perfect conditions, riding out of my garage and right onto trails is so choice. Merry Christmas y’all

3 generations Christmas Eve MTB ride. Funny that my 76y/o dad, who got me into bikes is getting shown around our local trails by my 8y/o little girl.

I still can't feel my knees. Worth it.

Riding and trailwork the last few days. A few of these are from the dig stoke thread


First ride of the new year yesterday with a nice sunset






Riding this roller after fixing up the entrance. This and the next one are optional lines off the main trail




This one might be the hardest move out here. After dropping in you have less than a bike length to make a 90* turn before immediately hitting another drop that leads onto a narrow ledge. If you lose the front tire over the edge you're gonna tumble into the snake pit. There was a nice fat rattler living in the rocks under the trail last year. Second pic was taken just out of sight below Steve's front tire here










Testing out a rebuilt section of trail






And guinea pigging a new roller

Nice pics!!! Looks amazing. That fat snake made me sick to my stomach…. Haha

awesome day of riding in the SLV yesterday

[evdog]

The Holy Fire closure recently ended, so we hit up a couple classic Santa Ana's backcountry rides today


Los Pinos: 2k of up to get 6k down, following the spine of a ridgeline with lots of steep, loose, rutted descents




Looking back up maybe 10mins into the ride. Each descent is followed by a steep climb, about 14 of them half of which are HAB




Outstanding views




Lock and load




And a fun chunky ending





Lap 2 on Chiquito Trail. Nice forested ride for a while then some nice rock features. The branches growing out of the rock Tom is riding over is all poison oak.




Then it is a chunkfest all the way down to the highway

Thanks! This is our prime riding season. 60-70F every day! High country just got shut down a few weeks ago by snow.

Edit: god dammit.

You could edit the photo, that seems to fix up the Pio's. OTOH, that's cool.

The circumference was tight and sans studs this was a slow art pond project

^^^Peace, bro

After the longest bike hiatus ever (ankle/kankle) I got a wild hair and did an evening into night slow snow ride.

The hot weather girl told me 1-2 inches, turned into a good 6" with the fluffiness on top.

Light show on some of the trails we work on

[Shredhead]

Wow, looks beautiful!

Are these current?

The snow continues to deteriorate, but spring is in full swing in the CA foothills.
