The root would be that big of a deal if there was a way to keep your traction. It gets softer everytime someone rides it.

Exactly. But I guess I'm just some scrub that can't ride sandpine without crashing 3 times. ::)


Umm....I was agreeing with you. :)

As for Sandpine.....I have only ridden it a couple of times in the past two plus years, but now there is that harder option. :o

I know you were. Sometimes the way things get interpreted change because sarcasm and tone aren't conveyed by the internet. ;)

I know this is a bit off topic, but how are the trails holding up under all the rain you've been getting?

All in all they aren't in bad shape at all IMO. Moonscape is getting back to it's gnarly self, Rollercoaster and North Creek are both riding very well, as is most of Bridges. I didn't ride most of Rockgarden or River Loop, they tend to get muddy.

You really are a smart guy SFG. I LOVE IT when people say they don't ride muddy trails. Your bike and bike parts last longer that way and so do the trails.
See you in the morning.

Art, Did you see Jason's new signature line? That has got to be good for some karma.

I got me some good trail karma this morning. You guys are gonna love what we did on North Creek, I just hope you like logs and rocks as much as Art and I do! ;D We also fixed up that climb on Shelly's Loop, it is still gonna be pretty tough though! I'm gonna go get me some more of that trail karma tomorrow morning. ;)

We were out there this morning and saw the workers buzz by in a golf cart. Just wanted to say thanks for all you do to keep the trails in shape, running great and lots of fun.
