They moved it to September this year. Which is probably good because it’s the last zone to actually dry out. ---

> [@Shamp](#): > > I’ll probably still die, any climbing just straight fucks me up Are these enduro format? If so you’ll be fine. Walk when it’s steep and conserve energy. Other people will push their bikes a lot so use that as your gage to chill. Don’t let your ego get in the way when it comes to pedaling, just save it all for the downhill. ---

Local teens were busy this summer. I just noticed this in the woods today. ![IMG_6440](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/7/d/7d084eca919d7dea9b1ecb69ee0803d6ca330fae.jpeg) I pray they’re building a landing cuz it looked really close to a big huck to flat lol. Par for the course as far as sketchiness around here though, I’ll give them that. ---

Freeride is alive, even if those kids won’t be with a huck to flat. But that is also freeride. ---

The secret they don’t tell you, Jim… Is that in Enduro all of your peak heart rates come during the descent. ---

I dont hate climbing. The hard effort still gives me some brain pleasing endorphins. It’s not _fun_ but I realized through my season of downhilling that my brain actually needs a bit of the climbing part of exercise. The e-bike rules though. You can still put in the effort of an easy to moderate climb and get a workout without feeling like you are dying on the steep stuff. I have not figured out how to ride tech on it yet though (only 2 rides in and everyone else on the rides was on regular bikes so I went slow). ---

Oh yeah, going down is way more exertion but it’s a blast; going up is just miserable ---
