^^^ Nice to see Ebikes specifically listed as permitted for a change!



I looked up Goodan Ranch - are there only ~10 miles of trails in the Preserve?

I rode 30 miles in that area today, you can easily find 40-50 miles of trails in the general vicinity. Goodan Ranch is central to many trails and off-shoots. The Stowe Trail from Santee leads up to it (you need to obtain pass from Miramar Base for "legal" access, very easy to do so just google Stowe Pass Marine Base). Beeler Canyon, Martha's Grove, Blazing Saddles and High and Dry are some of the trails I frequent in that area. There are at least 3 or 4 parking areas that lead to Goodan Ranch. Here's a link that gives info on a few. Let me know if you want some more info.

Beeler Canyon Marthas Grove Loop Mountain Bike Trail, Poway, California

A great way to link Sycamore Canyon/Goodan Ranch. Near Poway, California.

Rude Rock track Queenstown NZ. My favourite flow track.
Behind us the sky was dark & there were snow flurries. Middle of Summer here.

Is that a Trek Rail?

 

[Doug Stampfer]

Is that a Trek Rail?

Yes. I'm testing it for special forces purposes in Ghan hence the desert sand camo paint.

I thought you were trying to copy the new Focus Sam2 colours. ??. Looks like like great riding terrain. Enjoy.

 

[DrStupid]

What is that white stuff on the ground? Frigid temps out my way?

I call it snow. Its fascinating. Think of it as future mud.

That caught my eye yesterday also...not only E-Bikes but Class 1 AND Class 2 which is really how it should be following the Class guidelines that allow Class 2 bikes the same access as Class 1.

And a pic of a strange Rainbow tail that was out front a bit ago....

First decent day in weeks conditions were either slippy slop or slippy frozen making for a few squeaky bum moments but great to get finally get out

Actually I'm a fan of the Santa cruz colour pallete hence the nomad colour. I do love the focus colours too - in fact any brand but Treks ?

I knew I'd seen you somewhere before:

 

[Pivot]

I went for an analogue ride today...

 

[Zimmerframe]

I went for an analogue ride today...

Why ?

 

[Forever Wild]

16 miles of riding on rocky terrain today.

A lot different that the smooth flow trails of Alabama that I typically ride. The cushcore I installed is working well on these trails.

Awfully muddy in Bangor, Co Down.

 

[jimbob]

About the only bit of dry longleat forest I could find! About 1deg out and just missed the snow at the end.

Had to hose myself down at the end though!

Just a dusting of snow in North Yorkshire.
But at least the mud has frozen hard.

Sorry, no motor today (is that allowed ?)

Metacomet-Monadnock Trail, Mount Holyoke Summit, Western MA USA
The left grip points at UMass Amherst, FTWCTK. And the Connecticut River's on the left.
2015 iZip Sumo - original battery still has >90% of its original capacity
6+" of snow disappeared overnight, but I had to give the bike a workout!

 

[yorkshire89]

We had a dusting of snow overnight, don't really get much here so thought I'd head out from my door and go on a little explore before it turns to slush.

Really fun even on some tame local bridleways!

Then this happened, followed by a walk of shame back home

Cheers SRAM

Cheers, I had a chain splitter but didn't take a quick link out with me...
My chain has hollow pins too, Im not sure if you can push these nearly out, shorten the chain and push back in like you can with solid pins?

next time just put the quick links in and leave the splitter at home.
no, seriously don`t know about splitting a hollow pin.
start a new thread and ask

Temperatures around Northern Kentucky have been walking the freezing point for a few days.

If I ride early enough, it's nearly perfect like today (TranXe), wait an hour and it's a mud fest (trance19 below).

Lots of hillbilly land around here.
