I rode/walked Moonscape the other day and I'm not quite sure exactly where Doom is.........

I rode the trail until the first split.........ended up walking to the right ( I think) and it looped around ( tough climb/ downhill) and appeared to tie back in at some point.........looked ridable but tough of course.

However, I stayed to the left and came to the next intersection where a trail went off to the left and climbed a ridge where the option I rode was running parallel the entire way while the hard option went up and down this ridge...........the option had a TOUGH downhill with a decent drop off in the end......I walked it and one point of the trail appears to possibly be the highest point in the entire park?? Is this doom or some other option??

Thanks for any insight.........

After you enter moonscape and do the first little climbs and the drop( M. Killanewbie),then the low trail that winds around the hill and up to the 180 degree turn, thru the rocky climb and finally down the long sweeping downhill to the left , you hair pin back to the left and up a climband where it goes back down there's a trail right to your left with a tough root (for me), and a climb to a ridge section that leads to acouple ups and downs and an immediate left hand drop. Thats Doom.

This section is Doom.

This section is after Doom joins back in and is unofficially called No Dab Ridge.

Pic of the drop at Doom. Funny how it doesn't look like much... and it really is a chamois filler... The line has changed from this older pic but it's probably tougher now.

Bicycle shorts, (tights - spandex), do have rider comforts that are also intended to be worn commando style.  They hold the boys together for the guys, and have a chamois pad to avoid chafing issues for both men and women.  You can apply chamois cream to the pad for those long hot rides to avoid any rash type issues.
They also hold the muscles somewhat compacted together.  They are cool and breathable, wicking moisture away from the body.  Baggies have an inner spandex liner as to offer an outer shell for convenience of pockets and the regular shorts look.

I don't know what a diaper feels like so I'll have to take your word on that! Grin I wear baggies myself, but I cut the cheap liner they all seem to come with out and wear a good pair of shorts underneath.

I prefer to let the man parts hang as much as possible. You will occasionally mash yourself, but I'd rather mash myself once every couple of rides than ride mashed the whole way.
