Funny you should mention the White Line. My buddy and I were in Sedona a few years back. We'd talked about doing the White Line, it didn't look that bad on video.... We rode the Hog Trails over to Broken Arrow, where we could access White Line. You just don't get the full scope of the trail until you see it in person. The cost of failure is high. We decided "Hell No" and dropped down below to "Chicken Point", which is aptly named. Looking up from below, you realize it's one serious as a heart attack trail.Need to see your GoPro POV on the Sedona white line next, Rod.
As a side note, shortly after the trip I had a bad accident and destroyed my ankle. I couldn't walk for 18 months. I got back on my pedal bike this April. It's literally been like learning to ride all over again. I bought my eBike, an Orbea Rise in August to help out with the ankle. I've put about 800 miles on the bike. Vegas was my first technical ride trip. It's so good getting back to the places I love and missed. My buddies and I are leaving tomorrow to ride Hurricane, Utah.

I think this video accurately depicts the White Line trail in it's true form.

Still summer feelings here is southern Spain. I could ride here forever.
If you group your laces, fold them in half as a bunch and then tuck them forwards under the black rubber band, they don't flap about and get torn to sh1t.

Mcharza,
Spain is such a beautiful country, I'd love to go riding there someday. A beautiful trail, awesome people, a glass of red wine, a nice meal, how can a person go wrong...

I get sweaty palms just watching that vid !
Saw 1 Bulls fatbike on the way up. This was our first real snow day. Entrance road to the park is really bad. Hike-a-bike section. After that …not too bad.
Burke Mountian entrance.
Steep rock garden ahead …not today
…and more snow.
I crossed the line …I’m going to jail.
This was a challenge. 12-15% grade for 20 minutes.
And finally something flat.

It's quite good in Peaslake stores, a very reasonable £15
I think the prices in their a very good actually, a couple of quid.

Sometimes it is necessary to look for new path in the lower parts of the mountains. And of course a pizza after riding.

When Murphy decides snow, approaching darkness, miles to go, is a great time for chain suck to happen. Glad my son knows the feeling of a jamup and did not break the chain. It took five minutes to work the chain out of the jam and we thought we'd have to pull the master link in the snow.

Little Creek Mesa, Hurricane Utah
The mountains above Los Angeles have been a place of recreation since the first humans traipsed down into the basin. 140 years ago, there were some pretty lavish resorts up there, but the trek was gruesome. A group of rich entrepreneurs got together and build trolleys and cable cars to bring tourists to their hotels. Today, the buildings are long gone, but trails remain. Trails range from those suitable for intermediate hikers to those suitable only for expert riders. Despite the millions of people down below, you'll only run into a handful of explorers on any given day.
