Got in some good adventure riding yesterday
The beginning of trail after a 10mi/2500ft road climb

At the start there were a good amount of downed trees, which I did not expect so soon after the "gran fondo" that was up there.

Hey, we're riding!

Then the trail got very steep

Cha-paa-qn (sleeping woman), renamed from squaw peak out of political correctness:

Turns out a few friends of mine were up there at the time.
Finally done with the first climb, seems like it won't be as bad from now on?

Descent from there was good, although my fork was not working right. The fitting for the lockout has started leaking, which means it can't open the compression damper and is basically rigid. It does move a bit and blow open on harder hits. Still a little painful.
Trail was pretty freshly built in some places:

In others you're pushing across a scree field

we came from over there

The flathead valley and mission mountains to the NE

The trail continues along the ridge but that was enough for us and we descended back to the valley. Trail down was pretty good but steep and had lots of big log waterbars- hard on the brakes. I hear it was pretty much impassable not too long ago and my friend described his last attempt down there as his worst day ever on a bike.

Back to the car on the road. We pretty much rode across all those mountains back there

The FS, MTB missoula guys, and the backcountry horsemen all did a ton of work getting that trail back into shape. Lot of hike a bike but definitely worth the effort and I'd like to try the rest of the trail.

2016 Honzo Steel frame. That's why I asked. Heavy frame but I'm enjoying the ride. I believe that the 2017 batch will have a boost rear axle, which, despite modular sliding dropouts, may not be compatible with even 12x142 spacing (upshot means a new rear wheel may be needed to use warranty replacement frame)Quote:

Kona offered up some nice options but I don't want full suss and I don't want ti version as I don't want to break another ti frame. The spesh Fatboy is just as fun and in some situations more fun so I'm not really missing it too much. What are you riding?Quote:
