Managed to get to the top of Hazard on our Enchilada mission. That was my 3rd time riding Porcupine, highest I've been so far. Gotta get back to finish off Burro. FKNA

It's been quite awhile since I've spent much time on a bike but I decided this spring was the time to dust off the old hardtail and see what metro Boston has to offer. I went to Cutler Park in Needham for a 5 mile loop after work today and wasn't disappointed, plenty of well packed singletrack with a little of this thrown in just to class the joint up a bit..

Is there a separate thread for videos?
Spent the evening playing with the GoPro, GorillaPod, and YelliScreamy.
Looks like a fun trail. Where is that?
Breaking in the new DH sled last weekend at Sundance. Forgot how much I love chairlifts!

This is becoming my "usual" ride.

Rode it three times this week. It's a tough climb of 2 or 3 miles, then a descent I just love because it combines some of everything, some steeps, some twisty, bermed up sections, a few jumps (some are just oversized waterbars, some have been built up) and it ends with a short, techy piece. I decided to go far left on teh short, techy piece in order to hit a small drop off, a couple of feet, which I utterly failed to land due to wimping out and taking it without enough spped to clear the soft, loose sand below it. That resulted in my first trail rash of the season.

The leg was not bad at all, but it's a bit worse on the arm, scraped from wrist to shoulder. Minor injuries are good, they teach humility at a relatively low cost.
Got out to Valmont in Boulder yesterday for the first time. That place is fuckin' fun for a little baby urban bike park. Nothing special, but the wife got a few half decent ones:

Moved back to summit and forgot how shitty the trails are around here. People didn't seem to be to concerned with the thunderstorm on Saturday. Our ride turned into a lolly instead of a 8.

Spotted a few of these guys on the way home from the after work ride the other day. This one was the only one nice enough to stand still for me.

Lousy shot of someone heading into the Green Monster at Trumbull.

This drop has a fairly shitty approach, and a small landing area. It's very fun.
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f1...e/IMG_0089.jpg
Straightforward gap. I'm a big chicken on this one - it's just outside my threshold when on the trailbike/not armored up, though the stupid trialsy ones with tricky approaches and shitty landings give me endless joy.
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f1...e/IMG_0109.jpg
This one needs a little hopping once on the rock, to line things up, then wheelie off.

The dude actually rode this out. A bit wobbly, but he made it. Popped his front end a bit further up and out than he intended.

Earlier today, on some east coast rawks. The new Chromag did not disappont on the trialsy stuff. Then it began to rain, and made things interesting.

Nice, that I can pedal to this spot in 20 minutes. It's one of my favorite spots for rock play time.
