Super loving this
That’s how you introduce kids to riding
Had a big day in The Whites.
Mt Clinton Rd.
Jefferson Notch Rd Eastbound
Jefferson Notch Rd Westbound
I PR’d all over the route but not because I’m fit. Every other time I rode it it was on narrow tires on soft dirt. Conditions were near perfect. Some marbles but most was hard pack. I’m still relearning to stay loose . I’m descending better but not at pre crash speeds. Know Fear…
Rocking my catears because I can hear so much better!
I’m going to start telling people they help with laminar flow around the head and make me more aerodynamic.
I wish we had flowy single/doubletrack around here that I could just put some miles in on. I don’t always want a challenge every hundred yards.
I guess it would help if there were more scenic things. Or am I doing it wrong?
HY.
Any moto traffic? So far in CB they’ve been very friendly to everyone in the woods.
Just bikes and 1 hiker. Amazed there was this massive group of 14 year olds absolutely shredding.
Rode up Ape Canyon Trail, along east side of Mt. Saint Helens volcano on Sunday with sup wife. Did not suck.
We went to Leadville with the intention of riding Mosquito Pass (13,000 ft). 3 of us went and did some un-named 12,500 ft peak instead, because
- My knee was racked
- My buddy wasn’t up to it
- My other buddy was in pain.
It was a good time, tho.
Do you live down there or just visiting? I’m always looking for folks to ride with when I’m home.
Are helmets outlawed there or what?
I guess they have no purpose where you aren’t going to get hit by a car or get sendy and endo hard.
Haha, I wore a hamlet on the descent. My friends might be dumb, but they’re my friends.
Holy shit no oxygen. Tallest pass I’ve ever been on was Army Pass at 12,400ft when I was a boy, hiking the Sierra Nevadas with my dad, we camped at base camp for Mt. Whitney (tallest mountain on continental US at 14,400). There was no fucking air at all. But there were these big fucking jackrabbits in the rocks that would run like hell.
I’m impressed!
Thanks!
The altitude rocks some people and it doesn’t seem to affect others that much. I feel pretty lucky to be in that second camp, but it does affect me a little bit still.
Here’s a photo of me from that day.
I’m in San Jose, hmu for tarck up sometime!
