Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

WOW is a great Tuesday morning trail, but I find it frustrating on a Saturday. I really wish they'd cut a climbing trail and make it a downhill only trail.

I suppose that would just make the blowout and braking bumps worse though

Hmmm, I’ll be up that way this weekend, is it best to ride the road up and wow down?

I've always shuttled it. I hear the road is pretty brutal, it's definitely steep in spots.

Road up is steep but would probably be "easier" than riding up the trail, it is pretty long if you ride all the way up and back down.
I would be up to shuttle it if anyone else is, I am hoping to have my new cascade peak this weekend and would be a great trail to get back onto a full suspension.

I just picked up one of these. We can definitely make some shuttles happen...

 

[RockChucker]

I’ve never ridden WOW. I’d be in for a shuttle. I have a 4 place rack and a tailgate…so technically can carry more than my truck seats. Busy this weekend and next though

The Biddle Bike Bus is now fully operational.

So I sorta had a mid-life crisis, and brought this home from Oregon.



Giant Trance X 29, with all the carbon and Performance Elite goodies. It's sex on two wheels and I love it. I love it so much I let it throw me over the side of the mountain Saturday morning and busted up my helmet pretty good.



Busted me up pretty good too, felt like I'd been hit by a train. Doing better now and the new helmet showed up, so who wants to ride?

I'm glad you are not dead.

 

[Gravy]

You wanna go ride The Farm tonight?

I'll be in CC tonight with the boys' NICA team.

What's The Farm, mostly jump lines right? I suck at jumps...

 

[Kevin B.]

I'm glad you are not dead.

What a coincidence, me too!

Seriously tho I think that helmet saved my life. Or at least a very expensive life flight and a long convalescence.

 

[Herzog]

Whoa dude, glad you're ok! Nice whip!

There's flowy stuff too. What day works for you?

 

[glockman]

I'm a Giant fan, see what I did there.
I think you will love that bike. I rode the crap out of a couple Reigns. Glad your brain bucket saved your noggin. I'm down for CC any evening. The rework on Rush is a blast. I have been totally slacking on pedaling this year.

 

[Tonkaman]

Dude! I like your style

My Saturday afternoon/evening is free.

Seriously tho I think that helmet saved my life.

I had one of those type of mountain bike crashes once, too. I still got a concussion even though I was wearing my helmet, and I am 100% certain I would have split my head open had I not been wearing it.

Who else among us is still here thanks to their bike helmet?

I smashed myself pretty good riding with Kevin few years ago in Midway. Helmet definitely saved my head from cracking open. My shoulder still disagrees with that day.

Took a nasty spill riding Tamarack Resort a couple summers ago. Very glad I had the helmet and glad it was a full face as well.
