Various stuff kept me away from Wisp (and, actually biking in general) for most of the summer, but I definitely plan on getting up there a bit next summer. Seems a no brainer since my folks have a place 10 minutes away.

And 10 minutes from Baker's Ridge!Particle, I think WISP is funner it has technical singletrack a few rock drops and a dual slalom course, I wish they had a buffed out 7springs type trail to add to the mix, Then maybe I'd start charging the doubles a little harder. I know I'll have a season pass for the WISP next summer MarsB probably will too. You can always crash in Morgantown which is 45min from wisp and an hour to 7 springs.
Particle, I might be hitting Ray's up during my Christmas vacation (12/21-12/30). You gonna be around? Good opportunity to add some photos to this fine thread.Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.Comment

Bakers, Coopers there are alot of great rides close to Morgantown. Plus a couple nice DJ's and rhythm sections at White Park.
I think Wisp opens up last weekend in May, not sure though. As for the x-country riding, I tend to be in a kayak from march to may so don't have any experience with trail conditions that time of year.
MarsB and I were also talking about taking a Rays trip this winter. be fun to hook up with some of y'allIt’s the places you ride that are special, not you riding there.”

Made it up to Ray's yesterday for my first time there, had a blast. I was too busy riding to take pics.
Was it the mind-blowing thing it'd been built up to be? Nah, but still very very cool. Loved all the options for progression they have. Some of the stunts were just silly hard. Most were challenging but doable. Even the beginner room had lots of fun stuff to play around on. Dialed in my x-ups on the foam pit which was cool.
We should definitely plan a maggot trip up there this winter, it's about 2hrs from my house...not too bad.I'm so hardcore, I'm gnarcore.Comment

OK, hope this helps motivate:
Stopped @ Thunder MT on my home from working in the Page, AZ area the last few days

Sunset is a tough time to ride on this trail but still fun

My bike was ready to get after this...

My next shuttle rig (saw this in Page, AZ)...

Now go ride something for cryin' out loud..."People blame me because these water mains break, but I ask you, if the
water mains didn't break, would it be my responsibility to fix them then?
WOULD IT!?!"

^ That trail sucks. I mean, it really, really sucks. The views are horrible, the trail is way too smoov, and the last .098 is the worst piece of trail I've ridden...EVER!!!
I know Lph will agree with me, especially about the last part.
