Belltown abuse test

I hesitantly took the bellotown around the mountain. It did it all quite comfortable, the welds held up and should be ready for anything, granted it likely will snap at soem point so I am still trying to get my hands on a 2021 Salsa Timberjack frame for backup to the backup. Great ride, some little clouds around and cooler.

Only a matter of time

They put up a big old sign for the trailhead today, I am not surprised, exit and entering the site has become dangerous. I was off for 2 hours and and did a double ridge with a little twist :)

That's comfy

I took the steel rig out for a ride Thursday. Kept it mellow and then climbed some of red rock rampage, that was a wonderful but tough climb. I didn't go all the way up to the end where it's still in progress but enough to know this is a beautiful fun trail!

Green Canyon

Robbie sent me a message last nigth that he was not able to make the trip after not being able to get his tire to seal. I was bummed but not worried about it, I went of my normal morning ride and hit Gold Canyon. A really nice powerful ride over there, I decided to ride the ridge the right way, it was much more pleasant. Picked up a KOM on cow pie west which was a surprise but then again I am sure it won't hold for lone, GC sees way less people than most.

Down with you i9

Went the fun way around the mountain this morning, haven't been in a little while, when I was on my way up Alpe I managed to snap two spokes, climbing! This being a total of 4 spokes now in the last year I am pretty frustrated. I guess it's 32h from now on........ The rest of the ride was sketchy but made it on a very wobbly tire. I ran to the bike shop for a luckily fix that day since I was "supose" to go to Sedona the next day.

Spine Line

Went for my normal serving of double ridge sandwich and found the new line open on iron goat, turned out to be a pretty little spine line, one tricky narrow spot still to clear but I like it. Also I smell way too much spring.......

Money

It was a hike up to Gidro day, always worth the effort for sure!
