Jungle Habitat today. Trails were primo. I rated them a "4" on the conditions gadget.
I was a little torn when picking a bike today, but Jungle simply begs for full-suspension. My FS has not seen much time in the rotation lately. I really "need" a 29'r FS bike. But, my FS is a 26'r. It felt a little weird to ride after spending most of the winter on my Fatbike or my 29r HT. This bike also has very narrow handlebars which I originally cut down specifically because of Jungle Habitat. I believe it was the close quarters on 'Fish' that lead to that decision. Quite frankly, they are too damn narrow now.
Anyway, it was a great ride and I hit all the good stuff. I was a little shy of 2 hours when I came down 'Junkyard Dog'. So, I decided to go loop 'Dump Truck Hill'. Then it was 'Boulderdash' out and I even rode up 'Lower Chute', which I typically skip. I figured I'd roll right out at 2.5 hours. Of course not...2:15. So, I rode up to the airport for a couple minutes and then rode down the road to a dirt road that was pretty swamped out. In fact, that was the only really muddy area on the whole ride.

Someone rebuilt this little log-ride. I think its actually a little easier than it used to be. But, THANKS...whoever!

The 'gate'. As gates go, one of the coolest.
