You understand that Dakota Ridge is pretty gnar, right? I believe the preferred direction is North --\> South.

How gnar is gnar? My friend has ridden mountain bikes since the 90s so he’s not a n00b, we’re just not looking for stuff that needs 150mm front and rear and a drooper to be fun.

It’s pretty gnar, lots of rocks and stuff. I’m sure he’ll be fine but you did say “he probably isn’t looking for anything too gnar” 🙂

I appreciate the warning, given that there’s no Effective Gnar Scale.

I’m sure that you rode it today and it all went fine. It’s tech, but the most challenging parts are the sections that are flat and you need to pedal. Well, that and the steps.

Joke’s on me - turns out my buddy’s sister lives in Vancouver and he’s been riding the North Shore at least once a year. He was smoking me on the downhills riding Devil’s Backbone today.

We rode it on Monday right after that big thunderstorm went through. It was a little tough with wet tires on the rocks but yeah, most of the tech-iest parts are flat.

Not I, but if you’re free in the evening, a bunch of us are going to meet up at a park and then ride bikes over to the Swift Industries event at Illegal Petes (colfax) around 6:30 next Tuesday.
