More than a little erosion, grace of wildfires a few years ago. Some trails are lost, but many areas are starting to come back.

Charge!
My t2i went over a waterfall early in my trip so here are some iphone shots I got in Moab when I had the chance. Again, dont hate on the poor quality and lack of trying on the photos.

Connected two spots together, with a touch of pavement. Pleasant surprise was finding a hugely long stretch of these guys along the roadway.
I ate a lot of 'em.

My in-laws are only a few minutes from Bradbury State Park, in Maine. Finally managed to bring a bike up when visiting.

Pops, I seriously did not like the long drive up there.

Blue Mtn. tomorrow, Diablow Sunday, Trumbull on Monday, the local bit on Tuesday.
Of all the places to break your G2 guide. Meh. No, not mine - found piece.

Sorta' local, good flavor, not expensive, quite portable.

The infamous "east coast rawks" here. Yet, I managed to survive on a low bb, and non-large wheeled bike.

This fork feels good. Really good. 15mm nay-sayers: don't sweat it, unless you have to buy a new hub/wheel. It's pretty freakin' stiff. As in, feels stiffer than the Lyrik it replaced.
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f1...t/IMG_3055.jpg
My favorite local spot - can pedal to in twenty minutes. Anything from an hour quicky, or enough trail and areas that connect to be out near all day.

Days, nice Dan. Bike is looking dialed.
Want to ride so bad, got another 6-8 weeks in the gimp corner.
Well, its a parking lot pic, but I'm fuckin stoked. This was my 1st trail ride since I fucked up my hand bout 5 years ago riding bikes. Easy up and down with my chick, still found some fun corners and I'm happy to report riding still feels natural. :)
And I dunno if y'all can tell but I have both brakes and the shifter on the left side, cause the right hand don't work, first day out with this setup and everything feels pretty dialed so thats a success.

^Awesome! I saw a helmet cam vid of a guy who injured a nerve and couldn't use an arm riding Champery, something I struggle with at the best of times, it amazed me. Really impressed by you getting back out there too!
All you need! Excellent, and have fun with it!Quote:

Through the pass at 8K. Note optional spur to the summit at 9K. It was tough to pass on it but time didn't allow.

The only pic I managed to stop for on the stellar 8 mile, 4,500 ft descent. The pic doesn't do the exposure justice.
