Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

[glockman]

Got in a good ride up AF yesterday. Had my wife shuttle me. Started from the summit down 252 to cascade springs road, then halfway back up the asphalt trying to find my wife (long story). Then shuttle back to the summit, out 157 to Pine hollow and down Pine Hollow to the road. Only got a little bit of rain. Dust was settled some.

Tried to ride Lambert this morning and blew my rear shock coming down Rodeo. BOOOOO.

I've been trying not to talk myself into getting a fourth bike, and this video didn't help...

That looks like so much fun. I wish I had 5% of his skill. A new bike will instantly give me more skill, right?

It sounds like the Maple Hollow DH trail is going to be closed for about 4-6 months, starting in a month. Let's ride it a couple times before then. Apparently the city has some BIG plans for that trail (6' wide 25 foot tables). Now I REALLY want to get a slopestyle

Then again, if he can ride a fixie like this, I should be able to ride my MTB however I feel like it.

I just got a new front tire and I'm excited to test it out. Anyone want to ride tonight? I'd love to ride any of the following:

Corner Canyon
Eagle Mtn Bike Park
Lambert

Thanks for joining me Kevin, that was super fun.

I must say, my new front tire (bontrager XR4) made a HUGE difference. I felt like I had twice as much control today. It definitely rolls slower than my small block 8's, but I feel like I can lean it almost 70* and it'll keep on grabbing. Totally transformed my bike.

That was a kick in the pants, Steve, thanks for waiting on me during the climb.

Where is this at?

Corner Canyon, above Draper. We rode Ann's Trail (Draper Rim Trail) up and came down Rush.

I thought my fellow mountain bikers would enjoy this video. I'd pay lots to ride a trail like the first two. I miss riding in Santa Cruz.

I'll be riding tomorrow morning if anyone wants to tag along.

about when? where?

 

[sixstringsteve]

I'm flexibile. I've really been digging corner canyon so unless anyone has any other ideas, I'm planning on riding there. I may end up riding the draper bike park later in the day.

 

[193kyle]

I'll go ride corner canyon with you. What time are you thinking?

 

[sixstringsteve]

how does 9 am sound?

I'm thinking:

meet at my house @ 9.
Park @ potato hill @9:15
Ride anns --> rush --> bst --> potato hill
repeat.

 

[193kyle]

Two laps huh? You're not messing around, haha. I'm in though. Anyone else?

 

[sixstringsteve]

Two laps at MY speed. I can't even do one lap at your pace kyle.

You can do 5 laps in the time it takes me to do 2.

Went out the other day for a quick ride before work on Bear Claw Poppy had some fun with the new Gopro and editing software (never done this before) thought I'd share
Enjoy! (sorry if its kinda long, didn't want to cut out too much of the trail)

great video! That trail looks like a blast. I'll be riding St. George in the Winter this year as our trails become unrideable.
