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

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.

My bike doesn’t have ultra-low gears, which I’d be carrying around all year, but use only once or twice.

no Jan

the Gospel of Grant is to always have a 22-36 low gear on your bike AND ro always walk up the fun punchy climbs

Local teens were busy this summer. I just noticed this in the woods today.

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.
