I came across this great interactive map today:

Todays morning ride bst from dry creek to city creek and back through the aves on the street. Nice and cool. Only one other rider on the trail.
Any one do morning rides?

 

[sixstringsteve]

i can do sat mornings, that's about it.

Anyone interested in Thursday evening rides up AF Canyon? If we get two vehicles we can shuttle.

 

[Kevin B.]

Every other Thursday, yah . Even better if rides are shuttled and ya'll don't have to wait for me to huff my way up the hill first.

I love the Skidmap, and I'm waiting anxiously for Herzog to get around to putting together the 4x4 version.

 

[sixstringsteve]

so now we'll just have to wait for you at the bottom of the hill? i kid, i kid.

Kev, what bike are you riding these days? Did you sell your hardrock?

 

[Kevin B.]

Yeah, the Rockhopper is gone. I'm riding my old Trek 3400 POS for now. I feel so inadequate with my tiny 26" wheels...

 

[sixstringsteve]

Man, I love me a good 26" or 24-er. I can't get used to the higher COG of a 29er. But hey, that's what makes it fun, we all like something different. Do you prefer the uphill or the downhill?

 

[sixstringsteve]

I think it's time for a road trip to Santa Cruz. Wish we had more trails like this here. Maple Hollow is probably the closest we've got.

It's funny you say that - the bigger wheels on the 29er are awesome, but I think I like the additional wheelbase just as much. My COG may be higher, but I felt much more "between" the wheels on the 29er. I feel too much on top of the 26" now.

I don't mind downhill, but I'm not a speed demon. If I could choose, I'd ride stuff like Gooseberry or Bar-M all day - flattish enough that it doesn't whip my butt, technical enough that it isn't boring.

I could definitely see that. What size is your Trek? And what size was your Specialized?

 

[Kevin B.]

The Specialized was a 19" frame. The Trek is a 21, and much easier on my wrists when I'm flogging out miles.

I hit Mormon flats trail at 7 this morning. rode up and down and back. This is one of my favorite trails.

 

[sixstringsteve]

kyle and rosa and i rode sundance today. It was a great way to beat the heat, and for $20, you get an unlimited lift pass for the day. There were some pretty fun trails there. We're hoping to hit all the Utah resorts this summer.

Great ride today Steve, we had fun!

 

[sixstringsteve]

we rode for 4.5 hours and covered 18 miles on the bike (about 2 miles on the tram). My strava app was recording everything we did, then it froze and erased all the data.

I'm contemplating riding the bike park at the canyons on Saturday or Sunday? Anyone interested?

So how much of what you saw was legit DH, and how much was milder stuff I could take the wife and Boogerface on?
