Went exploring with the dag. Shoulda brought the battery powered sawzall(realized I actually had it in truck...). Only made it a couple miles and maybe 50 trees before heading back. Did see some moose and deer. Never did find the connector to the ridge trail I was hoping for. Oh well another excuse to find it. Might have to hit Missoula or helena soon.

Another great evening ride. We had a big storm a week or two ago and there are downed trees everywhere. Should have taken a picture of about 20 huge trees down but... Didn't.

Where is this?? It's looking suspiciously like somewhere I know very well...

My son made it into a Pinkbike Friday Fails compilation. 1:57 right after the dude slow-mo faceplants into the puddle. That'll teach him to know his line, he had already hit it 3-4 times (he was fine).

Haha. That was awesome!

Proud moment, for sure.

It was part of the goodie bag from lost trail shuttlefest. Think bitteroot backcountry cyclists(?) Donated them. It works great for smaller stuff but I lose patience with larger downfall. I was starting to see Cory's logic with a fat bike and chainsaw mount.

Went and checked out a new rail-trail with the fam today just for something different. Saw elk cross the trail in front of us and had many nice views of the Flint Creek Range. Kids liked it.

Got out for a slightly longer cruise today, complete with a downright hot wind. Didn't see another person for the middle 20 miles or so.

Lifts open and these trails become doggie-non-grata.

Dogs have no place on trails, keep them on a fucking leash.

I was flipping through the pics and saw that and thought it looked nice. Time to take the drive up the mountain to give it a try. So hard to get myself to pack shit in the truck instead of rolling out of the garage. But that looks plenty nice.

Is it all as flowy as that looks?

It's not all flow, there are some tech sections. Nothing too steep but they are fun. Big rock garden at the end that I admittedly walked the first time. It's like they took some easier sections of Braille and mashed them together with some more natural sections of flow. It has a familiar feel to those two but is definitely different. Worth riding at least once for sure and I will definitely be back.

As far as demo is concerned its been kinda a shitshow recently. Don't even think of showing up between the hours of 7-11am on a weekend its a madhouse. I've had good luck pedaling super early (arriving at 6am) or showing up after the crowd leaves (1:30 yesterday was perfect). There's construction during the week leading to full closure of highland way from 10-12 and 1-3 (more info on SC Public works website) so its a mess then too. Just yesterday I saw a group going down Braille with no helmets, a family walking out with someone's arm in a makeshift sling, and reports of calfire having to do an evac in the evening. Trails are great if you avoid the people though.
