Dumb.

Yeah, it's blurry because I'm moving so damn fast. Yeah, that's the ticket.

"not a ride unless ya bleed, only hurts if the bone shows" is not a rule i like to live by but some days it's just unavoidable. product of early season bang the rust off perhaps?
I've always been jealous of you guys who get to start riding in April or even earlier. So after years of waiting until May or June to ride in the Alberta Rockies, I was stoked to now be living on the B.C. side of the Divide, and today had a fun ride on a trail that was in prime condition.
The trail is in the Eager Hills near Cranbrook B.C., about a 20-minute drive from where I live in Kimberley. A fun and flowy single track that winds through pine, larch and fir forest, and then breaks out into grasslands with views of the Purcell and Rocky Mountains.
There's nothing more fun than riding a trail for the first time!
Obligatory beauty shot of my trusty old crosscountry bike.

What tires are you running in that pic?
WTB Dissents. They're decent. They seem to last awhile, they can be had cheap, and they don't ride too bad either.
Mmmm Sierra in a can... I need to make a trip to ID.
They have 'em at the Utah liquor stores now.Quote:

Man! You guys get to ride in some truly awesome places!
SWMBO got her new used ride last night, so it was definitely time to get out this a.m.

Unfortunately, me and the 15-y-o "Mad Bikentist" who live sin my house and eats my food
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...dBikentist.jpg
must have overdone our efforts to loosen up tight links on an old chain, and on the first attempt, we made it a mile up the trail before this ended up in the wrong place.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...wrongplace.jpg
You generally don't want it down there. And you generally don't want your rescue tool buried in a backpack somehwere in the house if it does end up down there. I did a chainless downhill to get the bike back to the house, quick fix and we were back at it. Nice climb broughnt us this

And my efforts on the build got me this (trust me, she's happier than she looks):

I miss that place for a local quickie, although the streets to get there from my old place were more demanding than the actual single track.Quote:

yep it's a pretty sweet local ride. there are some fun options for riding in the city these days. trail fairies are alive and well.
I didn't get into the all-mountain this year so I guess I'm just doing the XC. you should do it.
