Hey Guys, Have a new cruiser and 29'er to ride the block with my son so not using this bike anymore.
2010 (I believe) Giant Trance X2. I am the original owner bought new in Utah and only ridden in spurts over the years when living near trails, vs living in cities when it was in storage.
The...
Agreed. Finally got to take my new bike out and temp was reasonable and trails looked better than i had seen in a long time. Super fun. Get out there before this junk weather coming up. Cuesta and Grand Tour were tons of fun.....and no unleashed dogs.
Did Cuesta and Laurel today. SLICK. Prime time leaves. give you confidence by convering thing up...then reminds you you arent that good!
First day I had to wear long johns of the season.
Going to try to ride rocky point tomorrow mid-day if work permits
Hi Ashley I was just about to put my wife's Bike up for sale. 24in Rocky Mountain Element, Disc brakes and full suspension. Flat pedals. She hardly rides it so Im going to move her to my old 26'er as I am getting a new bike. Comes with Road Tires as well. 250 would take it. (just need to...
Hey Andy wasnt that one. if you enter onto Laurel Via the Claypit creek access and turn right to do Laurel counter clockwise it was maybe 100 yards in. I got to do a brief ride Sunday and it had already been cleared. The big one at the bottom of grand tour had not. Still familiarizing myself...
jdog. i think you may be right- had the Hightower out today and MAN was it amazing at Hartshorne. but - may be too much bike. I have NEVER taken lines like I did today. so.damn.fun. But she's a beat to climb.
I really need to check out the 5150. i think that may be the sweet spot...
Guys got out at HS today. BC of the high wind there are some major trees down on the trail. almost all were full dismounts to get around/ over. 2 or three on Laurel Ridge, one on Cuesta and a really gnarly one nearing the bottom of grand tour after a pretty sharp corner. Ride with caution...
Thanks Jason- Kyle was the one who has helped me so far. He was great and really took the time to educate me. I'll definetly take the 5150 out for a ride too. I thought that may be a little less trail for me. Im willing to suffer a little to get a really fun ride down. especially knowing I...
hey all- New here- but have read this whole thread. I'm demoing a Hightower tomorrow out of Belmar Bikes - Im coming off a 2008 26in Giant Trance x2 (5in travel bike) so i am brand new to 29s, new geometry etc.
I'll still have the Trance (Its really and XC bike) so I wanted to go more trail...
thanks TimBay. not new to MTB but took a big time off from when I live in Utah till I move d to Moco. Was an XC rider - Long flowy trails..no rock roots. etc. Loving hartshorne. (cuesta, laurel and Grand tour) need to get over to Huber. Ive got a new bike on my todo list. def. can justify 29...
hey guys. newbie here. I just joined and getting back into MTB now that Hartshorne is so close. (i live 10 min away) Rode today. Still some real sandy spots (Im a 26 in 2.10 guy) so sketch for me oming in hot to those areas. But otherwise still not slick on the leaves. Hope to see you guys...
