Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

[sixstringsteve]

I'm going to be in town Friday and saturday. I'm hoping to borrow a bike and go for a ride both days if anyone wants to join.

Harrison may be up for that. He's been training hard. Here is his new Norco Range C9. I can't believe he has changed from Specialized. His first Enduro is next week and he cant wait.

 

[sixstringsteve]

So cool. That's a fantastic bike. Norco is one of my favorite companies.

I can't wait to see how he does on his first race on it.

Tess just finished her video of our last bikepacking trip. It was BRUTAL, but I'm glad I went.

That's a great video Steve and Tess! Love that area of California.

 

[sixstringsteve]

It's an incredible area.

Those are some bright gloves you're wearing, they have an off switch? How often do you change the batteries?

8:33 cracked me up.

I found a pretty amazing single track system (Rio Oso) in Evanston WY yesterday in the Bear River State Park.

It's smooth and flowing. No rocks and prenty of up and down.

@frieed and I are talking Strawberry Narrows this Sunday, leaving early and maybe look for something in Heber on the way back if we have legs left. Anybody want to join us?

Looks like fun when are you going to be back

 

[Kevin B.]

Well, mid/late afternoon, I expect. We're meeting at Erics 0730ish, should put us at the trailhead just after 0900? If we ride the whole trail out and back and I manage my usual 5mph average we still ought to be off by 1400.

Except the last report on Trailforks from two days says the winter deadfall still isn't cleared. The last time we tried to ride this trail we turned around because bushwhacking around fallen trees was getting old, so... @frieed? Whaddaya think?

 

[Kevin B.]

Eric wants to play lumberjack, so I guess we're going. No idea what that does to our estimated time of return though...

 

[frieed]

we can try somewhere else if you wish

 

[Rock Taco]

Are you planning on riding it one way or out and back?

 

[Kevin B.]

Naw, let's do it. I'll wear flannel and suspenders.

Are you planning on riding it one way or out and back?

Out and back. We probably won't ride the last three miles, they say it's pretty swampy and overgrown, so 18ish miles total?

 

[Kevin B.]

Ninja bears strike again.
Can't beat the scenery though, this is my favorite spot on the trail.

 

[frieed]

I think I need to give up. I'm just too uncoordinated and getting too old to heal fast enough.
On the upside we did clear 3 trees off the path so I got that going for me.

Must have been sage brush on the trail again

Nope, just an old man.

 

[Kevin B.]

Really old. I don't know how he gets around without a walker.
