are the trail closures just on odd days of the week, or is it a seasonal thing?
I'm still confused about what's closed on odd numbered days. is it the green segment of trail? It sounds like the blue, red, and brown sections are open all the time. We didn't see a soul on the green section (including hikers), but we saw a few hikers on the Mill D North Fork section.
I'm 6' 5-1/2" so even 29ers don't feel big lol, and the XL frame is on the small side (and they aren't very common).
Wow, 6'5! The good and bad of being that tall is xl bikes are less common but they are usually priced low because they are easier to find in last year's left over stock.
The bob you felt on a trance was most likely because the shock wasn't at the correct pressure.
Not knowing how much bike you really "need" is hard to decide.
I don't think I'll need more gnarly suspension and it seems like most of the riding up AF and Provo canyon Isn't super rocky either. Any thoughts?
I don't want to turn this into a for sale thread, but this reminds me that I've got a couple of XL bikes that I'm thinking of parting with. I'm not going to list for sale til spring, but if you know anyone who wants a well cared for XL Blur or Stumpjumper, pm me. The Blur is an 05 pretty much full XTR. The Stumpjumper is an 07 pro XT/SRAM X.0. Both very well cared for. I'd let either go for $1200 this time of year.
I'm 6'2" and about 150 lbs. I've been riding these XL FS bikes the last few years, but I'm pretty convinced I want to move down to a Large frame and maybe a 29er next year.
My wife has been riding for about a month now. We've been doing a ride or two a week at Lambert and she has done great. Today we rode corner canyon, anne's to rush and back down anne's since the weather got nasty. She did awesome. I am super excited and happy to have her riding with me. It's one of the funnest things we have ever done.
It has really changed biking for me and I'm super stoked to get her skills built to the point we can do some bigger and funner rides but even the small stuff is a blast to share with her. Anyway, enough gushing. Pic from today.
