Yeah where I am we get it pretty good, we get snow up high, but for the most part we have access year round , but we also get a ton of rain, and that makes for slimy rocks, roots, mud.

Yup label me jealous too, I would loveto have those kind of trails near me but unfortunately SoCal is a desert! Most of the tails that I ride on are steep downhill runs that are hard pack dirt with rocks and a layer a silt on top. I look forward to when I can visit my brother in Oregon and ride with him. He has some amazing scenic trails by his house too.

Here is a video of my new favorite downhill that I have been riding. What I would give to just have one nice long flowy forest trail !

Saw this on Facebook. Some thieves took an axe to the back of this van and made off with 27 demo bikes a couple weeks ago in Italy!

Who the heck leaves a van with 27 bikes in it unattended where someone can hack at with an axe till it opens and then load 27 bikes into another vehicle ! That takes some time!

Had a great ride today out in the Aliso and Wood Canyon Wilderness area by my house. It was clear skies and 70*. Here's some pics from today's ride, 14 miles and 2500ft elevation gain.

how do you like using strava?

I love using strava it's a great way for me to keep track of my progress and also find new trails. The only downside is a lot of the "new" trails I am finding are illegal trails. But other than that it's a great app

i have had people complain about never being on the top 100 of any of the trails (they are sadly in way better shape then i am) and then i pull up the app and i dont have that problem at all!!! i also use it for road riding too

Those trails look like a lot of fun I hope to hit some wild west trails someday

Only two trail rides and nothing extreme, so I'm not to sure had I did it, it's a shimano slx hub with thru axle.
