    Who's riding up in ketchum this summer?

    I'll be up there for 2 or 3 weeks starting next week, and would love to meet up and do some rides after work, or whenever.
    Osberg, Oregon gulch, etc...

    I'll be out there running a Chasing Epic trip in a couple of weeks, maybe we'll cross paths on the trails.

    Yo Basin...I'm here (I live west of Hailey). I have my girls solo this week so I'm pretty hosed. How much longer are you staying out here?

    Copy. I'll hit you up when the dust settles and we can maybe get a ride in or just grab a bear and talk land cruisers.

    Just went out for a quick ride before our trip starts tonight.... the trails are SO good right now, and it's only going to get better with the rain coming today. The next few days should be a blast out there.

    You should head down to Hailey for some XC riding at Croy Creek... holy shit those trails are beautiful. Nothing hardcore, but you can spin out the miles and the scenery is incredible right now. Next few days should be $$ with the rain.

    Rode Two Dog==>Wilson's about an hour ago.

    Ride it clockwise, so ride up Bullion Gulch, then start the singletrack.

    The wildflower downhill is like taking acid in Mario Land. Unreal.

    Yesterday we did upper Oregon gulch to fox creek to Adams and over to warm springs and home. I love this dude, just the right level of gnar up high for being fairly remote, and the fox Oregon connector stuff is fun as hell.

    Today we took the 10yo boys on Fox creek loop. They killed it!

    Good times!

    A 10 y/o doing Fox? That's pretty impressive.

    Yeah, the fox creek loop is pretty easy, just over 5 miles, with one 800?ft climb. After that all downhill and then flat back to the fox creek trailhead. 10yo kids that want to compete with each other go right up that big climb. No cajoling required.

    I'm very familiar. I would have thought the climb would tucker them out but I haven't hung with a 10 year old in a while. My daughter is about to turn 8.

    I was surprised. Kind thought, damn, these kids are gonna be fast in no time...
    I am still trying to cajole my almost 8yo to do the small white cloud loop... Big difference between 8 and 10.
    The 10 boy is doing the galena MTB camp this week. He's pumped on riding bikes. Makes me smile.

    The Galena Camp is money bags--kids love it. For non bike kids camps, look into Mountain Adventure Tours. Really fun stuff for the groms.

    They have an rc car camp, lol. Campers get rc cars. I bet the counselors are pros at fixing busted suspension arms...
